I think the most ambitious thing we did when we were there was go for a few short walks. We are both kind of anti-itinerary types. I think it might be because our lives at home are so jam-packed. When we get away we like to do nothing, or fly by the seat of our pants. During this trip, we did a little of both and it was good therapy. It didn't hurt that when we left Des Moines it was 26 degrees and raining! <br /><br /><div></div>How do you like to vacation? Do you plan every minute of every day, or just take it as it comes? Do you have any suggestions for great vacation spots or cool places to see? I'm not very far along on visiting all fifty states, and it's one of my goals so reading your recommendations will be fun.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wnkTw1k891U/SA6djB6BbXI/AAAAAAAAAW4/69s_tx-43E4/s1600-h/tan.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192260645537541490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wnkTw1k891U/SA6djB6BbXI/AAAAAAAAAW4/69s_tx-43E4/s400/tan.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Finally, I want to let you know that I have accomplished one of my life goals ...
