If it's not up today then it's no go... http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/blog-209446.html Itrsquos hard to keep up with our blog when we stay in hotels that have Internet for 13 a day Sorry but itrsquos not worth it Southern California was awesome. We met up with Lindseyrsquos Uncle David in Marina Del Rey. After driving down Route 1 all day we were really hungry We went out to dinner at a popular Mexican restaurant right down the street from his house. The food was so good http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/blog-179409.html The ride to the winery in Stonewall was filled with wildlife to say the least. The worst thing that I have ever seen was all of those spiders that came out of the desert and crossed the highway under our car The tarantulas were awful I do NOT like spiders. It was incredible to be going 70 down the highway and see a spider so big on the road that you see it lift it's leg while it's walking.... a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Fredericksburg/blog-179656.html We have been a lot of places lately that don't have internet so we haven't been able to get things on the web This blog will hopefully cover what we have been up to for the past few days. We left the Payne's house in Graeagle and headed for Lake Tahoe. We were nervous because the fires even now are still going. We didn't know if we would get stuck down there and not be able to get through and w http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/California/blog-176147.html Lindsey and I headed out of the little town of Moab after spending some time in the sun next to the pool. We haven't really spent much time relaxing like that so we figured that we'd take the opportunity. We didn't really have a destination in mind only that we were going to her cousin's house 14 hours away. We got into the car and headed west. The drive was pretty much uneventful until we reach http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/blog-174078.html Lindsey and I got up and hung out at Jai's house for a relaxing morning. When we finally got our stuff together we headed for Estes Park. Estes Park was a beautiful mountain town at Rocky Mountain National Park. We went to the Visitor's Center when we got there to check out what the town had to offer. Lindsey found a brochure for an American Wilderness Tour so that we could REALLY see the Rockies http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Colorado/Rocky-Mountains/blog-172898.html We woke up at about 830 and got ready to go see the Colorado Rockies play the New York Yankees. I had not seen my friend Todd Helton since I lived in California so I was really excited It was also my first time seeing the Yankees play and I was even more excited that I had brought my Boston hat along for the trip We got to Denver at about 1030 and parked the car at the field and lined up to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Colorado/Denver/blog-172069.html We woke up early to get a jump on the Badlands. We ate the continental breakfast and hung out in the lobby for a little while. After breakfast we packed up the car once again and headed for the Badlands. All I can say is WOW. The pictures donrsquot really show how beautiful this place really is. We got there and were just in awe. The badlands stretched for as far as the eye could see. They were http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/South-Dakota/Badlands/blog-172066.html Chicago to South Dakota Even though it has only been 2 days since wersquove written a whole lot has happened.

On Monday morning in Chicago we woke up and gathered our carload that w http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/South-Dakota/Mitchell/blog-171270.html Untitled We finished up our adventure in NY by going to visit Liz's parents in Buffalo. They were really sweet we had lunch there swam in their pool and generally had a relaxing day. We left Buffalo at about 6pm to drive to McKean PA. We drove the 2 hours...and arrived at the middle of small town America. As soon as we pulled into town we stopped to fill up on gas. Lindsey and I looked at eac http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Ohio/Cleveland/blog-170647.html Untitled Lindsey and I started out our USA road trip at 9 am from Tabor. The drive to New York was beautiful it's amazing how much you forget about mountains until you see them again. It never ceases to amaze me about how beautiful they really can be. We got to her house in Cobleskill NY and headed right out to Cooperstown to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. We got to see Todd Helt http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Niagara-Falls/blog-169845.html
