My FIRST ROAD TRIP - 2007

This has been our FIRST road trip since we came to The States...

It has been over 18 years since we came to South Florida, and we never visited another State... so we decided to break the mold and go visit places this time.
We are so glad we did... we had a wonderful time, even though the driving was long, we do not regret it, it was simply amazing, and we surely are looking forward to our next trip.

We visited The Blue Ridge Parkway (Carolinas), Washington DC, New York and Niagara Falls..., needless to say, we were thrilled on every single stop. These were 10 busy & exciting days for me, my wife, and our 3 kids.

Here are some shots I took, hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do.
Thanks for taking the time to look at them... 8)

Clear skies to all!

Ivan…

That's a nice set of photos. Sounds like a great trip.

If you do the Grand Canyon, I suggest also adding Bryce and Zion.

Another great trip is the Black Hills in South Dakota. My wife I flew to Denver this summer and did an 1800-mile road trip up to the Black Hills. There is a lot to do and see in a very small area. I still mean to post some photos from that trip, but THEY want me to work. Go figure.
