My family and I have taken a lot of road trips over the years. All of them across the western part of the United States: Minnesota, Iowa, South and North Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and California. I have personally have driven through, in some way, every state except for 5 or so. Road tripping is in our blood. It's a great way to experience things together.
