With my family living in Minnesota and my wife's family living in South Carolina, no matter where we live, we will always be traveling to one place or the other. And there's a lot to see in between Minnesota and South Carolina. So I now have new goals, and that's to do more between Minnesota and South Carolina.
In Rabun County, where I now live, I have not been to the gorge in Tallulah Falls. They say it is the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi. I also want to see the new aquarium in Atlanta, the Coke museum, and go white water rafting in Rabun County.
I've lived in Minnesota, California, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Georgia. I will soon live in Iowa. And I have traveled all over the United States and I have not taken time to visit many places. And America in full of great things to see and do.
On the way back to Georgia after spending Christmas in Minnesota, we stopped and toured the Louisville Slugger museum and we really enjoyed that experience.
I want my kids (and hope this doesn't sound bad) to moan and groan a little every time Dad stops to see something on one of the many journeys we'll take through the years. Because while they may moan and groan, I know they'll always remember those side trips and they'll do the same when they're older and have families. And I think they'll be better for it.
Just some of the sights I want to see between Minnesota and South Carolina include the racing museum in Indianapolis, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, The Arch in St.Louis, The Radio and TV museum in Chicago, and The Grand Ole Opery in Nashville. Things I want to do between Minnesota and South Carolina include a ferry ride across Lake Michigan, an Amish buggy ride in rural Southern Minnesota, A river boat ride on the Ohio in Cincinnati and do the alpine slide in Wisconsin.
It may seem like a lot but I have 20 years traveling with my family before the boys are grown and gone. I think I'll get all this and more done.

Excellent, excellent, excellent idea. Can I come along as your daughter?
Me too! You're a good dad Adam. You have a nice family.
I remember the first time my mom and dad took the family to the rocky mountains...I read comic books the whole way..my mom kept saying something like how I should be looking at the mountains and not reading my comic books...that conversation became a fun part of the story and really it is what I remember most about the whole trip..
