I am just returning from a 2 week trip across the United States! I had never been further west than Texas, so it was SO EXCITING for me! I took tons of pics, but I'll just post a few of them here. My most amazing experience (of course I had many) was when I saw the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco!!! It was so beautiful! The west has its own beauty which is such a sharp contrast from here in the east. The states we visited were: Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Utah, Nevada, California, Texas, Illinois and Tennessee. We were going to visit New Orleans, and Austin Texas, but because of Hurricane Alex, we had to redirect our visit. I would tell anyone to at least do a cross-country trip once in your life; you'll won't see things quite the same again.
