Took a long overdue sabbatical to spend time with the family and travel. We took a number of trips back to Hawaii and we spent nearly 7 weeks driving across the US from New York back to California. For that trip, we spent time visiting NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Williamsburg, Cooperstown, Gettysburgh, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Las Vegas, and LA. We based the trip around MLB games and stadiums, as well as Six Flag Amusement Parks. Throw in a bunch of US history and sightseeing, and you have a US trip for the ages.
