Troy, MI

We are going on our third leg of our 50 States Before They Graduate adventure. We have been to 23 states so far. This year we will add 9 more in 16 days. We will be traveling to Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oaklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. I have been planning for 6 months to a year booking hotels, the house in Taos, activities and mapping our routes. I, also put a word out for suggestions of things to do on our route to friends, family and strangers. We have gotten a lot of great ideas that way. It has gotten easier to pack because we have been on a couple of trips already. I have our drawers packed in the back, backpacks with underwear, socks, pjs and bathing suits and the bathroom dufflebag is packed with everyone’s bathroom supplies. The bathroom bag is handy to keep all bathroom stuff together. I am excited to get on the road.Read more
