Paths and Potholes is a voyage of experiences, detours, exhilarations, and tranquility.  While not a travel guide, we hope documenting our destinations, routes, and points of interest help you have more informed travel and avoid the potholes that snagged us along the way. 

We will be off the beaten path and in the middle of the superhighway of travel.  From holes in the wall to famous destinations, we will share our experiences, and unbiased opinions about the places we go, stay, eat, and play.
