Travel the US

It is one of my greatest desires to visit all 50 United States of America. I want to see all the sights that make our country so beautiful. So far I have been to:

  • Alaska (Cruise 2004)
  • Hawaii (Family Vacations)
  • Washington (Seattle, Lake Mayfield, Spokane)
  • Oregon
  • California (LA, San Francisco, Mc Cloud)
  • New Mexico
  • Arizona (Grand Canyon, Phoenix)
  • Utah (Driving Through)
  • Idaho (Driving Through)
  • Colorado (Denver)
  • Wyoming (Driving Through)
  • Montana (Driving Through)
  • Missouri (Nevada, Branson)
  • Kansas (Driving Through)
  • Florida (Disney World)
  • Illinois (Layover, Airport only)
  • North Carolina (Layover, Airport only)
  • Virginia (Layover, Airport only)
As you can see I have really only experienced 8 of 50 states. I want to do so much more. I want to experience it with my husband as he has been to fewer!
Hubby has been to:
  • Washington
  • Oregon
  • California
  • Idaho
  • Indiana
Part of my dream is to drive cross country in a spectacular road trip. Mind you, I am not a fan of long car rides but I do dream of experiencing fun new things during this road trip. I would want to have unlimited time as so get the most out of the trip. I want to stop at things when wanted. Such as "Worlds largest yarn ball", Why the heck not? 

I want to have those MUST SEE spots like Mt Rushmore, New Orleans and the White House. Most of all I want to experience them with my niece and nephew who have never been out of Washington and Oregon. As we don't plan to have children of our own I want to take advantage of the opportunity and share it with my loved ones. I want B and O to see the sites as well. I know that we will get tired of each other and I know that it won't be all fun and games but that is what love is about, right? Maybe we will wait a few years so B can drive too?

Either way this was just a thought in the back of my mind and since I don't have enough space to post what I truly desire to post about I thought I would share this wish. Hoping someday I will be capable of making it come true =)
