Ashlee, You have a lot of the same pictures as Chelsie and Orv and I took on our road trip to New York last summer. Except, we missed the ball of stamps although we did see the worlds largest ball of string!!! We should get together and compare stories! I noticed you did the same as we did... First we were going 500+ miles a day and as the trip wore on the drive time got shorter and shorter. I didn't realize it until we got home and I started listing things out.
Sounds like you had fun!!!
