This is the actual route we traveled on our road trip! Feel free to click on the map to enlarge it and get a better look.ย Also, see below for the destinations corresponding with the numbers on the map.ย We accomplished our goal of seeing every one of the 48 contiguous states of the United States!
I was sure we would deviate from the original route at times as we discovered new places and ventured out.ย Sure enough, the plan changed several times.ย ย There are quite a few more stops on our final route than on the original plan (60 more to be exact!).ย That’s because there’s so much to see in the U.S.! Even with 123 destinations, we still didn’t see it all, but at least we were able to see what we did.ย Plus, there’s always next time! ๐
