This summer will be the 4th leg of our 6 leg trip to see every state in the USA!! We've already been to 14 states and will add 12 this summer. We'll see something exciting in every state as described in this planning journal. We'd love for family and friends to join us along the way.....and that's why we're letting all of you know our itinerary. So come join us at Disneyworld, or San Antonio......or Nashville & Memphis. It'll be the trip of a lifetime!! We've already done road trips to Washington State and Mt. Rushmore in S.D. And, the two expensive travel states, Alaska and Hawaii, we've seen too!! AK in 2006 and HI in 2008. We plan to do the upper midwest in 2011 and the upper East Coast and New York and DC in 2012. Vermont will be our 50th state visited in 2012. Can't wait!!

Most of our free nights are with Sheraton (SPG), then Marriott then Choice Hotels, then La Quinta!
