🗿 Roadside Wonders & Quirky Landmarks: Travel Trivia Recap!

Pull over and grab your camera! Our latest episode of Travel Trivia was a wild ride through the weirdest, wackiest, and most wonderful roadside attractions in the world. From giant animals you can walk inside to cars buried in the dirt, we explored the kitschy heart of the open road.

This session was extra special because our incredible community turned their competitive spirit into a mission of generosity. Every single winner today played for a cause!

🏆 The Winners Circle: Racing for a Cause

🧠 Roadside Wonders Trivia: Did You Know?

We covered a lot of ground today! Here are some of the quirky highlights from our trivia challenge:

  • Lucy the Elephant (New Jersey): She is a 6-story tall elephant built in 1881. You can actually walk inside her and look out over the Atlantic Ocean from the "howdah" on her back!

  • The Giant Lobster (Shediac, New Brunswick): Standing at 35 feet long, this is a "must-photo" for cruisers visiting the Lobster Capital of the World.

  • The Swimming Pigs (Bahamas): Located at Big Major Cay, these famous pigs swim out to meet your boat. It is easily one of the most Instagrammed spots in the world!

  • The Fremont Troll (Seattle): This 18-foot tall giant lives under the Aurora Bridge and is actually clutching a real Volkswagen Beetle in his hand!

  • The Big Basket (Ohio): A 7-story office building shaped like a basket. The handles are even heated in the winter to prevent ice from falling!

  • Somerset Bridge (Bermuda): Known as the "World's Smallest Drawbridge," the opening is only 32 inches wide, just enough for a sailboat mast to pass through.

Our Deep Dive Recap: Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

The TravelWives are officially back on shore! We're Shannon and Kahla, and we're here to give you all the specific, must-know, sometimes-hilarious details about our sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, amazing food, and learning a few cruise hacks along the way. Pre-Cruise Perfection: Hollywood Beach is a Must Let’s start with the non-negotiable step: the pre-cruise stay. Cruising out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is easy, but you absolutely have to fly in the night before. Kathleen and Kahla arrived early and stayed right in Hollywood Beach, FL. Seriously, book it! The area is fantastic, the Broadwalk is a whole vibe, and you can practically taste the ocean air already. It’s the best way to kick off a vacation and avoid travel day stress. Hollywood Beach Fl for the win, every single time! The Good, The Gluten-Free, and The Great Service The ship's service was outstanding, especially when it came to dining: Gl...
