Yesterday I started playing around with a road trip, to knock out a few more states I need to get all 50, and came up with something I rather like: flying in to New Orleans (giving me Louisiana #45), driving over to Mobile (Alabama #46), then to Laurel (Mississippi #47... a seemingly random choice, but the HGTV show Hometown is filled there), then to Shreveport (Louisiana again). From there I could hit the SW corner of Arkansas (#48) on my way to my Brother's in northern Texas. I'm thinking about doing this late August, which is a hot and muggy time but heck, I just survived WDW so I think I can handle it. That'll leave me with Kentucky and South Dakota, which I'll try to do next year.
