Hello and welcome back for part 3 of this 8 part review of our first-year anniversary of travel and blogging.

Our first post “Welcome Everyone to USAThroughOurEyes.com”,  followed by “What Happened”,  then “What was that Excitement”,  then the preparation of “The Do/Due List”,  then the decision to bring Emma “It’s About Time”,  then “Preparing The Route”  describe the process that launched us into the blogging world.

Finally, we set out September 1st, 2016 from Rochester, NY and headed west to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Little did we know this 30-day adventure would result in us now traveling almost monthly to explore these incredible United States.

In this series of posts, we hope to share lessons learned about ourselves, how we were impacted by the many individuals (many of whom are you, our faithful followers) who kept our dream moving ever forward each time you clicked on one of our posts and left a “like” or “comment.” We wanted to mention each of you that were with us from the beginning but did not want to chance forgetting anyone. Not only have we learned from each of you faithful followers but the bonus is we developed relationships with many of you along the way. The biggest lesson learned about blogging is it is truly all about connections with fellow bloggers.

We hope you return to see more of our recap of our first year of travel and blogging.
