The Road Trip is a fabled American sojourn and veritable right of passage for new and experienced travelers alike. The open road promises adventure, spontaneity, and a great opportunity to catch up on any music or podcast listening you’ve been putting on the backburner.

My husband and I brought the kids along for an investigative trip into our family history in Sumter County.
