How long's that been going on?
Where were you in MD?
I have a house in Spotsyvania, VA, and when my brother lived there, I went to visit. We drove out to his inlaw's house in MD - I want to say it was near Bethesda? But, this was 10 - 12 years ago, I can't quite remember where exactly. I just remember a lot of BEAUTIFUL green hills.
As long as they have space, ventilation, food and water, they're probably fine for now.
This number of states visited is a good conversation.
Where did you go in MO?
I should ask about IL but that's across the river so many here don't care.
After we find out how many states everyone has been to, we'll start on countries.
I know lots of people that have never left their home town. Never been ANYWHERE!
Thanks, they have doubled in size, so it's getting a bit more crowded than I'd like. I'll move a bunch of the bigger ones out this weekend.
I took route 70 through the middle of the state, the summer before last....we left ME, and ended up in CA 3 days later. We only slept in 1 motel, and that was in NE. I do remember that MO had some of the CLEANEST rest stops anywhere. I do have a very good friend in Hallsville that I am determined to visit one of these summers. I'll try to coordinate a trip when she's going to one of the Bluegrass festivals she goes to every year.
IL, I spent a week in Wheaton (I think) - visiting friends. While there I did go to a Cubs game. We took a couple of days and on a motorcycle went up to Oak Creek, MI to visit another friend.
When I was 12 and again when I was 13, my parents took us camping on cross country trips. I remember camping in MO, but can't tell you exactly where. If we could find an amusement park, we got to go, as long as we agreed to several days at the Grand Ole Opry. So, most of our campsites were somewhere near an amusement park, or a national monument. We spent 6 weeks going to CA and then back to MA. We just spent 4 weeks going one direction the next year when we moved to CA.
I kept travel journals. I'll have to see if I can find those....I did find our photo albums - I'll see if I can find any clues from those.
I have friends that have NEVER left CA, but most of my friends in New England, have at least been to a few of the neighboring states.
