This trip across the United States took us along 10,000 miles of road, through 30 states (and one Canadian Province), to some of the greatest cities and parks in the world, and reunited us with many friends and family members.
A special thanks to:
Auntie Sue in SLC,
the Moravec family in Estes Park,
Liz and Dom in Denver,
Sarah and Jessica, Kecia and BJ in Chicago,
Uncle Mark and Camp Dudley in upstate NY,
Carmel "Gram" Davenport, Mike and Ray Rosenzweig, the Knights, and the Seamans in Maine,
Shannon and Dolinda, Deanna and Jack in NYC,
Lindsay and Evan in Savannah (by way of Lafayette),
Shannon and baby Tyler in Jacksonville,
the incomparable Dutch family (Rae-Rae, Stevo, Claire n Susan) in Valrico,
Mike, Susan, Alison and Jessica Boone, John, Kathy and Sprague Boone in Houston,
Uncle Chris and Aunt Carolee in Santa Fe (by way of Charleston),
Meg and Bryan in Tucson,
Kim in Long Beach,
You all made our trip special, trusty, inviting ports in the storm, sometimes literally!
Thanks to our parents, the Dutches and the Galloway-Longs, for their moral and paternal support, concern and loving interest in our adventure, we could not have done it without you!
As gas prices rise and the economy sinks, the future of the quintessential American road trip looks uncertain, but do it soon; this country is so diverse in people, landscape, cuisine and customs, so rich yet poor, daunting yet friendly, safe but filled with opportunity for adventure. We hope you have enjoyed our stories and pictures, and thank you for reading about our memories-in-the-making, and wish that everyone can experience the joy, frustration, awe and nostalgia that we were so lucky to have experienced.
Love to you all, our friends, family and readers,
Andy, Emily and Moose.

Wow, Andy, Emily, and Moose!!
You're more than welcome for your stay with me, but you know that. It was a highlight of the summer.
These final logs are among the best of a well done blog! I especially like the view from your hotel in Tuscon, and too many others to name!
Now it's time to do the scrapbook! :)
