Our Itinerary

I give up, for now, on trying to get my Google map into a post! Grrr! I'll figure it out eventually, but for now I'm done! This won't be as pretty as the map, but here's a general outline of our trip...states we're hoping to visit and the main points we'd like to see. We're starting with a speed run to South Dakota. We've been to most of the states between here and there, so SD is where the adventure will begin.  I won't bother listing the states we'll "speed" through, even though they're very nice states!  
  • South Dakota -  Badlands National Park, Corn Palace, Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse Memorial, Deadwood
  • Wyoming - Cody, Buffalo Bill Museum, Yellowstone National Park
  • Montana - Glacier National Park
  • Washington - (we'll cross a small piece of Idaho first) Seattle, Olympic National Park, Mt. Ranier National Park
  • Oregon - Portland, Drive down the coast
  • California - Wander along the coast (Put our toes in the Pacific Ocean!) Pacific Coast Highway, Redwood Nat'l Park, San Francisco, Alcatraz
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Grand Canyon, AZ
  • New Mexico - Still researching what to see here
  • Texas - San Antonio (Alamo, Riverwalk, etc)
From this point we're not quite sure how things will play out. I'm going to list what we'd like to see, but we'll wait until we get closer to see what happens.  
  • New Orleans?  We've been there before, but we may head there after Texas
  • Nashville, TN (and Memphis) 
  • Atlanta, GA (to see Jen & Mike!) play tourist (Coke, Aquarium, etc), maybe Savannah  (If we to to New Orleans we'll probably go to Atlanta first, then Nashville)
  • Head north up the Atlantic coast  through SC, NC, VA
  • Stafford, VA to see Jay & Ija & maybe see some of DC
  • Back home to Cape Cod, MA!!!
Will we hit all the places on this list?  Maybe, maybe not.  Will we find other, interesting spots along the way?  Hope so!
