The United States is full of the most incredible places to visit and each state has its own beauty. I can honestly say in each state we have visited, there are places where I would up and move if I had the chance. In 2007, we packed the truck and camper and drove 3000 miles to Maine. This is Gary with one of the lobsters we pulled out of the Camden Harbor.
Our friend has a lobster boat and does tours but he took us out by ourselves. What an incredible trip that was!
While I write about California, I have so many other places to share. For example, Salem, Massachusetts is not my favorite place. We stayed at the Winterhaven campground. However, most of my time was spent at the hospital. I developed some sort of a nasty bug that sidelined us for two days. I also got a parking ticket. They are not kidding with their posted parking time limits.
This picture was taken somewhere between Bois d Arc, Missouri and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Route 66. It is spots like this that make travel interesting. This is a 1912 gas station that the forest is reclaiming.
So while I write about California, I want to pay homage to the other states. I could easily write a A to Z on all the states we've visited. California just happens to be where I was born and have lived for 60 years. Ours is a beautiful country with surprises at every turn. I can't wait to find new adventures as we continue our travels.
This country is full of beautiful spots to visit for sure, but there's just something about California that still calls to me.
ReplyDeleteWhen we get to retirement age, The Husband and I want to travel more extensively and take our time to see so much more of it. Can't wait.
And if you get to here, let me know. I like being a tour guide.
DeleteTennessee??? That's where my dad was from. Eastern TN, Scott County. I love Tennessee. Sometimes I think, that if things get too expensive here to where we can't retire comfortably, we'll move to Tn. I still have many cousins that still live there.
ReplyDeleteI am going to meet my cousins in Tennessee. I am very excited about going there.
DeleteWow, it looks like you have been all over, I'm impressed. Only a few more states to go!
ReplyDeleteIt has taken 30 years to share all those states with my husband. He has actually been to more but I tell him he can't count them until we go there together.
DeleteFood poisoning AND a parking ticket? That hardly seems fair. You really have been around the U.S., haven't you?
ReplyDeleteWe love to travel. I am flying to Tennessee next month. I hate flying but in July, we are driving to Missouri. When you are traveling on the ground, there are so many wonderful things to see if you get off the highway. I am always ready for a road trip!!
ReplyDeleteI could NOT figure out what the stone building was!
ReplyDeleteBut you haven't been to Florida yet? *jaw drop* This is vacation world! --Oh wait, I know--you haven't been here yet because there's WAY too much to do and you're saving an entire month of vacation for when you get here. =D
ReplyDeleteYou need to start a travel blog! I'd be one of your avid followers if you do. We have some great country and your personal experiences (do's and don'ts) are so much fun to read about. Couldn't be happier you entered this blog in the challenge. I've had so much fun on this journey with you:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you've been able to do so much travel, and your comments about Salem, MA had me laughing. Those uptight Salem-ers!
