The Plan...It all started in 2004.
We wrote the governors in each state looking for information. In many cases, no one responded to us. In some cases, we're not sure what is being responded to, but you can see what we received back by clicking on a state below.
In addition to the letters, we also received brochures for the state in almost every case. You'll notice in many of the larger states, we were passed along to the tourism bureau while the smaller states had a nice personal touch.
Our award for the most generous state goes to New York which sent T-shirts...very nice. Wyoming wins the most informative reply. Our award for the strangest governor goes to...well you'll see for yourself:
Then we waitied. We saved money. The kids grew to an appropriate age, and then in April 2010 we sold our house and...the Trip Began!
The Trip Begins!
