Remember That Time...?

50 Wawas. 30 days. The Quest Not to Fail. 

Remember that time I visited 50 Wawas in 30 days back in November to December? Well...here is the video tribute to that.

Not all Wawa's I visited are featured, but this is most of them - enjoy!

50 Wawas in 30 Days - The Finale

This Christmas finds me giving myself a gift. The gift of completing my 50 Wawas in 30 Days Challenge! I tried this challenge over the summer but gave up and let it fail. Going into Thanksgiving I decided I wanted to give it another go. So I set the new challenge and off I went on Take 2: The Quest Not to Fail.

30 days, hundreds of miles, countless time, & lots of Wawa food later - here I am. 50 different Wawas hit.

I really wish I had a heroic story to tell for my last venture out to Wawa Stores #41 & #1. However I don't. I could tell you that:

• The Wawa caught on fire while I was in the store and I had to heroically go save someone's kitten who was stuck in the store while it burned. And really...how do you put a receipt on that?
• I was in a car accident on my way to the Wawa and broke my leg & 3 ribs but kept going on and bought my last item to complete the challenge.

But none of it happened.

I went after work to the two Wawas without any fanfare, without any hoopla. That's right - I said hoopla.

I do want to thank everyone who has followed the journey and has been right with me as I spent the last month venturing to 50 different Wawas. I will likely keep track of all the new Wawas I go to over time and continue the journey on a more passive basis by trying to hit more and more Wawas. There are a lot more I have hit over the years - but obviously I have no way of proving that and I also would not remember which specific ones I had hit in New Jersey and some others.

So here it is...the last 2 Wawas hit on the challenge:

I will continue to post a few wrap-up posts including the spreadsheet I have kept chronicling all 50 Wawas hit, money spent, and locations of all. I again thank everyone who has followed over the last 30 days. It is much appreciated! Merry Christmas & I hope everyone has a safe & happy holiday!

The Quest Not to Fail

Welcome back to the challenge! For those of you who followed the last time, I apologize for the failure. Major Wawa fail on my part.

I could make excuses, try to explain myself - but it really boiled down to getting sick of planning out everywhere I went and trying to find a Wawa to accompany my trip every single day.

That will not happen this time. I will not fail twice.

For those of you new to the blog, the challenge is simple: Go to 50 different Wawas in 30 days. To prove I hit each one, I will take a picture of the Wawa and post my receipt from whatever I purchase.

I am strategically rehashing this challenge from Thanksgiving to Christmas as I have a little more down-time and will have the Christmas spirit with me in my travels.

I will start the challenge on Wednesday, November 24th and I will need to complete the 50 Wawas by Thursday, December 23rd. So I'm going from Thanksgiving Eve to Christmas Eve Eve.

I highly encourage people to comment on the posts throughout the journey such as:

• Suggestions on what to buy
• Some Wawa location tips
• Anything Wawa related - because I hope we can all agree, Wawa is awesome.

So here we go.

Again.
