Adventure Day 1

Today, I am ready to go on my adventure! My goal is to head 923 miles south to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I have decided that I will go by car, because if I went by plane, I would miss all of wonderful stops and places that I could see.

                Before I left, I filled up my backpack with all my necessities. I took multiple canned food items, a can opener, some chips, soda, large plastic bottle for water (I will fill this up multiple times throughout my trip), money, and a digital camera.

                For my first stop, I drove an hour and forty minutes (106 miles) to Mt. Vernon, Illinois. While I drove, I listened to the radio and I was very observant of my surroundings (mainly highways and fields of grass). When I got to Mt. Vernon, I visited the CedarHurst Center for the Arts. It was filled with various art pieces from all over the world. My favorite painting was by William James Glackens called “Summer Day” and of course it featured the thing that inspired my journey: the beach. I stayed there for about two hours, ate lunch, then I continued my journey onward to Tennessee, where I will make a few more stops before I get to my final destination to Myrtle Beach.
