After 13 great months in Washington, we are about to embark on an American dream - a cross-country road trip. Of course, since we are only going as far as Tennessee, it is more of a nearly cross-country road trip. I have been looking forward to a cross-country road trip for more than a year - since we were initially hoping to drive to Washington from Maine last year. That plan didn't work out, so my road trip book and grand plans were shelved. Now, we will do nearly the same trip in reverse.
Starting in Washington, we will take a more northerly route through the top part of Idaho to Missoula, Montana then on to West Yellowstone, Montana. We will dip into Wyoming to spend a half day at Yellowstone then back to Billings, Montana and on to Rapid City, South Dakota where we will visit Mount Rushmore. From there, we will head on to Iowa seeing first Sioux City then stopping to see the Field of Dreams. After Iowa we will start heading south along the Mississippi. After a stop in Hannibal, Missouri to visit Mark Twain's hometown, we will continue our southern journey through St. Louis and on to western Tennessee.
Since neither of us have ever seen this part of the country, we are very excited. I am especially excited for all the cowboy attractions there are to see along the way. How fun it will be to travel for seven days straight while five months pregnant is yet to be seen, but I am looking forward to the adventure!
