One year later... from Bob

Was it worth it? Would I do it again? 
YES!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.


Did you do everything you wanted?
Are you serious??!?
How could anyone do everything they wanted, when visiting over 30 states, in 7 weeks??? No, I didn't... and I'm sad.


Will you do something similar again?
YES! And not soon enough!
Maybe due north; up through Washington and Oregon, into Canada (ala Vancouver, British Columbia) and possibly all the way to Alaska.


What did you do that you (Bob) want to do again?
Visit Massachusetts and Washington DC more.
Both were the highlights of the trip for me. Wow. Boston was so epic, not only totally beautiful but in the sheer volume of history and east coast culture. DC was fabulous for the amount of history, monuments and science too.


What would you do differently next time?
Go for longer. Much longer.
And have our US passports with us. We simply didn't have time to get those as well as get everything else together and planned. But heading into Canada at Niagara Falls (basically, to Toronto) would have been very cool.


Where did you not get to go that you wish you could have gone?
Further into the North East.
The most north east we got was about the line between Boston and Albany. Getting into Vermont and New Hampshire would have been very cool. And getting all the way to Montreal, or over to Nova Scotia, would have been epic.


Would you recommend others to do this as well?
YES!
It was a huge bonding experience for our entire family and a huge learning experience. Not only about far-away parts of our current country, but about the founding of our country and the history still possible to physically see with our own eyes.
