(Red indicates states I've visited.)
Ellen at "Happy Wonderer" provided the link to this fun little exercise, "Where Have You Been In The U.S.A.?".
Being a lover of travel I had to play!! And, it instantly reminded me of my dad who passed away in June--he passed along his passion for travel to all of us kids.
Why not join the fun and post your map--let me know in the comments section so I can visit your blog!

What fun! I did mine. Now you have to tell us all about all your trips...
You've been to quite a few states. You've got to make it all the way to the Pacific one of these days!
jen: Well, since those memories span pretty much ALL of my life, I don't know if you have time for "all" the trips. But in a nutshell, my dad and mom would load us kids (3) up every summer and off we'd go! We almost always stayed in "mom & pop" motels with a pool--a MUST. We RARELY stayed in those fancy "Holiday Inns" or "Ramada Inns"!! But, back then most of the motels were "mom & pop" operations. We visited LOTS of museums, cliff dwellings, mountains, desserts, National Monuments & Parks, and natural "wonders" of every sort!!!
ellen: You're right, and believe me I've tried!!! My parents took my sister and brother to visit family and Disneyland (!!!) before I was even thought of--said they'd never go back again! Still, we kept traveling back out west but never crossed the Calif. boarder or headed north (mom & dad did visit the northwest later when the nest was "empty"). I'll keep trying--one of these days I'll get there (Lord willing!!) :-)
