This week I’m ping-ponging along I-95 in SC. So far, we’ve been South of the Border, on a NASCAR track, trying pecans from a massive sampling counter, running around with kids chasing giant swans and noisy ducks, climbing an ancient mound, and walking through a black swamp. Yesterday, I ate lunch at a place that specializes in casseroles – when was the last time you ordered a sampler plate of JUST casseroles and, Tomato Pie. Today, we sampled a bunch of low country foods – shrimp and cheese grits, quail, pecan pie. . . i’m having a piece right now…

I tell you all this to remind you there are so many adventures just minutes off the highway on your roadtrips to anywhere USA.
