Day 137 (10/15/14): Myrtle Beach, SC | Charleston, SC Well, Myrtle Beach was not the glamorous destination we had been hoping for, so we left today. We're not done with South Carolina yet though. The city we were most interested in seeing was Charleston, and that's where we're going today! As we...

Day 81 (8/20/14): Louisville, KY Even though we had driven through Louisville (pronounced "Lul-vul" in the South) when we first entered Kentucky, we didn't actually see much of the city. We decided to go back to Louisville today to get a better look at the downtown area. Our first impression...
