Travel ideas

Traveling around to so many places has me really wanting to come back and stay longer at some of them. The black hills area of South Dakota is really beautiful, and there seems to be a lot to see there even without the uber-touristy Deadwood and similar places. Montana - particularly western Montana - is beautiful and has a lot of nice foresty places to see (and nice B&B's!). It might be a fun trip to come back up here and maybe go down to Yellowstone, at least once I convince Monk he won't get exploded in some kind of supervolcano eruption.

I also mapped out a sweet roadtrip in Streets & Trips: down the coast on the 101 through OR and CA, across the southwest (maybe hit Vegas) and back up through Utah. Maybe a week or two long. It looks like it would be really awesome! I still haven't figured out a good way to road trip down to the south, though - we might be better off renting a car to do that corner of the country, because it would take a WHILE to go that way otherwise. It would be cool to be able to check off all the states in the continental US in my MINI, though! :)
