Potential Trips 2008

Where should we go in 2008? Can we fly or drive?

1. Philadelphia, PA is a good possibility. Lots to see...
2. Amish Country in Indiana is also good. They have theater!
3. Missouri has some possibilities but would need to put more of an agenda together to decide where in the state
4. There's always the possibility of visiting family in San Francisco.
5. Return to Tennessee and actually have time to enjoy the visit.
6. Canada - need passports :-(
7. Wait until fall and look at areas further south (ie Georgia, Mississippi, Carolinas)
