Exploring Outside of North Carolina
We try and make one major trip a year to some place outside of North Carolina. I don't think we'll get to all 50 states, but it's something we think about.
We've been to most of the New England states--many before digital so we don't have any photos up yet. We've been to Savannah, GA several times--many of them before digital. And we've been to several of the neighboring states--Virgina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I'm slowly getting some of our trips to these states on the site.
Our longest trip to date was to the Western US in 2008. The trip covered Mount Rushmore, Badlands of South Dakota, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, Buffalo Bill Center (a really great place), Grand Tetons National Park and more. The Main Trip West Page has a brief overview of the trip and links to pages about some of the places we visited.
In 2009 we made a several weeks long trip to vist the Berkshires in Massachusetts and Maine. Some of the Mainetrip has been posted. I'm working on the Massachusetts part.
Pick a spot from the menu and visit the places we've been. I hope you'll be inspired to visit there yourself.
