Niagara, Boston, New Haven, New York, Philly

This summer road trip was a sort of last hoorah for some friends and me to celebrate the end of our days as business school undergrads. My friends were moving off to there first big boy jobs and I was going into my last semester at Iowa State University. In actuality the trip signaled more of a beginning for all of us than an end.

We went into it with absolutely no plan, only vague ideas of where we wanted to go and approximate dates that would like to arrive. The first surprise was Niagara Falls, that’s right surprise. So little planning went into this that we were surprised to find that we would be passing only 20 minutes south of one of the most famous sites in North America. The the feeling that came from our discovery may have been caused by a laissez-faire attitude but this is what taught us that its not about the destination, “it’s all about the journey.” We lived by this philosophy for the rest of the trip and here are the results (at least the ones that I’m legally comfortable documenting).
