We have been on vacation since 7/26. We started in St. Louis, MO suburd Belleville, IL, and drove west to Denver. We then drove to Salt Lake City UT, Truckee CA, San Francisco CA, Barstow CA, Flagstaff AZ, Phoenix AZ and Tucson AZ. The big western trip!! Souveneir pins!!
We have been or will be in 11 states (IL, MO, KS, CO, UT, NV, CA, AZ, NM, OK, TX). We have seen cacti, weird squirrels, Indian silver, sand paintings, national parks (9 so far), western cities, mexican restaurants, and trees.
A few observations:
- I have not seen a single McCain bumper sticker. Not one. In 10 states. I’m in AZ right now, and I have not seen a single McCain bumper sticker.
- We have seen a lot of Obama stickers and yard signs.
- Many many many of the highway rest stops now have high-speed internet. Think about that for a minute.
We start for IL tomorrow. We will probably drive straight for 22-23 hours (we have 4 drivers in the car with 5 adults). I will keep a running account of Obama-McCain on the way home, but will not be able to post until I get to a rest stop with a high-speed wireless port. High-speed high-ways!!
