| Family Travels The United States |
| We so enjoy traveling to Europe and Cruising the Caribbean, we have done very little travel inside the United States. Darlene (mom) traveled extensively as a teenager, camping across the United States on month long camping/travel trips with her family in the backseat of a station wagon, pulling a mid-size camper. She eventually visited all fifty continental states (except Michigan due to a tornado in Wisconsin--long story) Our children do need to explore the United States as a travel destination.....give us some time. |
