LOL ok!  he he!  So Let's see...  I left Aug. 12th and went up to 
Niagra Falls.  I decided I would video tape this and my camera got 
wet and wouldn't work for 4 days!  There is this little warning that 
comes up saying "Warning - dew detected!" and then it shuts off...  
Somehow, I thing Niagra Falls is a little more than dew?  Anyway, so 
from there we skirted the Great Lakes and went through Ontario, out 
through Michigan, up to Wisconsin, and Through North and South 
Dakota - not much to say here - just a lotta road, grass, cows, and 
manure!  So anyway, we visited Mt. Rushmore in S. Dakota and that was 
pretty neat but well, about a 5 min stop...  Not much more that you 
can do besides look and take pictures...  Oh well...  So then we went 
through Wyoming and stopped at Yellow Stone.  We went through the 
geyser part of the park and that was awesome!  But we didn't see too 
many animals b/c there was construction going on and the trucks 
frightened the animals, I guess...  So from there we went through 
Boise, Idaho to visit my dad's family and then up to Washington State 
to Visit cousins and my Aunt and Uncle and my Grandma.  We went with 
my Grandma to see Crater Lake but it was so foggy for some reason 
that you couldn't even tell there was a lake there!!  Not to mention 
it was about 20 F so I was actually running to keep warm!  It was so 
miserable!  So we get back to my Grandma's house and we all get sick 
for a few days throwing up and all that delightful stuff...  So then 
we moved on to California through Napa valley and Stopped in the San 
Francisco area for a day (More cousins...)  And then we went throuhg 
Arizona and saw the Grand Canyon.  That was amazing!  From there we 
went through Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico - that was simply breath 
taking!  I took about 30 pictures and the memory card on my digital 
camera was filled!  LOL So from there we went to Texas (Another Aunt 
and about 27245782 cousins!!)  And then we went through Lousiana, 
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tenessee, Virginia, W. Virginia, 
Maryland, and Pennsylvania on our trip back home to NY!!  Phew!  I 
was so worn out by all of this, not to mention I was crammed in the 
back of our Chevy Blazer with my 2 younger brothers, 7 and 10 mths.  
Oh, the joy!!   LOL But it was absolutely awesome and we put 10,000 
miles on out car!!!  WOW!  So, I guess I will end this now.. He 
he...
