Homeward Bound

This will probably be the last posting on this travel blog. After leaving Wisconsin, we spent a couple of days in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and are now now heading straight home ( via I80 through Ohio, Pennsylvania and NJ, right to the GW bridge and home

Places We Liked Best On Our Trip:

Grace: Everything, but maybe California the best
Lucy: Little Town On The Prairie, KOAs in Petaluma, CA & Hayward, WI, and Disneyland
Mike: Yellowstone/Grand Teton, Black Hills, SD & all of Calfornia Coast (esp Redwoods)
Irene: Same as Mike, but would narrow California down to Southern California coast

Places We're Glad We Saw, But Probably Wouldn't Visit Again:

Grand Canyon: Everyone absolutely must see it once, it is as beautiful as it's reputation. But now having seen it, we felt, personally, that once was enough for us.

Glacier National Park: same as above

Mount Rushmore: A little anti-climactic

The entire Southwest section of the US. (Way, way too hot)


Places We're Sorry We Missed And Hope To Catch On A Future Trip:
Rocky Mountain National Park
Crater Lake NP
Yosemite
All of the Pacific Northhest
Northern Minnsota & Wisconsin


Next year, we hope to do a more abbreviated road trip where we will revisit and spend more time in Yellowstone/Grand Teton and try to vist a few of the other places above which we weren't able to see this time. (As well as catch a few old favorites along the route).
