Wish List

I would like to take my kids for a car trip around North America. Perhaps one year when they are both old enough to appreciate such a thing, I will leave from the week with my family in Maine & head for Adri's in Hamilton, Ontario. From there, I'd swing through Niagara Falls again on my way to Jody's in Pennsylvania. While I'm there, we'll have to check out the Amish. Then head west to the big city of Chicago & visit Linda. Then further west to Menomonee Falls, WI to see Mellie. Then west or south? Mt. Rushmore is out there...Laura Ingalls Wilder stuff is out there - that will be a MUST because the girls will be old enough to have read the stories. I guess we'll kinda zigzag across the way. Then a big zig north back into Canada, to Calgary to visit my friend Karen. We'll start south to end up in Vancouver, Washington to visit w/Jilly. Onward south to see Sandy in California. Back east w/a stop in Houston to see Briddy. Can I get away with visiting Kathy in Florida without stopping in Orlando? Maybe she'll be in N.C. by then. ;) We must stop in D.C & the historic areas of Viginia. And I need to be back in time for them to start school, lol. Motel 6 all the way, baby. Diner food & picnics. I can't WAIT.

  • What a wonderful trip

  • That's sort of like my dream too...
    I have 2 trips I'd like to do. I want to do a Bitchtour too! I would probably take a similar route to yours. I also really want to drive aan RV west across Canada, stopping to visit everybody we know along the way. We would stop in Wawa as we always do, then we would spend a few days in Saskatoon to visit friends and get to know our god-daughter, then off to Alberta where we would visit with my friend who recently relocated there, my cousin and her family, Karen and the kids, and Matt's aunt and uncle. Then off to BC to visit with my cousins, Matt's cousins. I feel a lot of guilt because they come and visit us (well Karen doesn't, but I'll forgive her) and we have never gone to visit them.
