Traveling Coast to Coast with Author Tim Kelly
Have you ever dreamed of travelling cross country? Most likely, you have. Usually at the end of our educational pursuits and before we enter the work force full-time, we all dream about seeing all of America. Unfortunately, not many of us get that opportunity for one reason or another. Fortunately, I had that opportunity to travel for six weeks one summer early in my teaching career.
A good friend and I took three weeks to drive from New York to California, visiting both old friends and popular landmarks such as Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cave of the Winds near Colorado Springs. Next, we spent two weeks exploring the Golden State; we visited Laguna Beach, we went to Universal Studios in Hollywood, and we even toured a winery up north near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Finally, we used our last available week to hustle home before we ran out of money and, more likely, before we drove each other crazy. Rather than tell that particular story today, however, I’d like to share with you the story of another cross-country journey, a fictional journey called The Spider Room by Tim Kelly.
