a road trip with no agenda

The end of July brought about the completion of a number of key items in the 101 list... about time, it's been stagnant for far too long.

I'm going to claim "Go On A Roadtrip With No Agenda" as completed based on the fact that following our backpacking trip a couple weeks ago Steph and I randomly decided to go to Santa Fe and make the cross country trek back to Nashville the long way. On our journey we made stops as we saw fit - did things exactly the way we wanted to do them. For a full discourse, read here.

Along the way I also knocked off two new States in the Lower 48 that I haven't been to yet - Texas and Oklahoma. This leaves New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. Hmm... those are all conveniently located next to each other.

We finally made it to Caleb and Kristin's house in Wisconsin over Christmas... well, to be precise, over New Year's. They have a great place - a cute little house in small-town Wisconsin. It suits them, and their two cats, quite nicely and I'm glad we finally got to see it.

I took a bunch of film pictures of their house, but for some reason we have none on our digital camera... come on Burns. Oh well - we were there, and it was great.

We rang in the New Year playing Trivial Pursuit and watching 6 hours of 'tornado episodes' on the National Geographic Channel.
