When I travel I always play that kid's game, writing down all the license plates I see.
I got every state but three--Alaska, Hawaii, and Delaware!
What an adventure I had!! I am in true awe of the beauty of our country. Many of us travel to other countries when we vacation; we have so much to see and learn about in our own back yard. I have new appreciation for the varied landscapes, the different accents I heard, and the kindness of people everywhere I traveled.
I took over 1300 photos, so if you look through this blog, you'll only see a small representation. I hope I've inspired some of you to get out on the road and go exploring--maybe not for 52 days, but for a couple.
Thank you once more to those of you who followed me along the way. I always knew there was lots of love and support with me on the road.
