go on a road trip with no predetermined destination
ROC 2004

We make up t-shirts, and had no real destination. We did have a couple of places we wanted to hit..but nothing set in stone at all. We started in boston, went to Miami, over to new orleans, up to st. louis and then back to Boston..eventually. 6000 miles of wandering over 3 weeks. It was awesome.



visit all 50 states
... 37 down

Been to every state east of the mississippi except Michigan—but I”m very sparse in the west.



eat kentucky fried chicken in kentucky
While on a road trip...

We drove all over the eastern United states, and as we passed through Kentucky we stopped at a KFC. It’s a little thing—but for the rest of my life, it’ll always make me smile, and what is worth more than that?
