My Xterra added on an extra +3600 miles over the past two weeks driving from New Jersey, stopping in Birmingham/Tuscaloosa, AL for job interviews, heading west on I-10 (New interstate! Yes, we’re weird. That’s exciting for us.) to San Antonio, TX (stopping point was actually Selma, TX), then back to Birmingham, AL for more interviews, and finally back to Princeton, NJ this very morning.

+3600 miles, 11 states, 2 weeks, 1 tourist-y shot glass.

If there is one thing my wife and I can’t go a year without, it’s taking a road trip - cross country style. Although this year we didn’t get to do our Wyoming/Colorado/Montana/Canada camping cross country trip, we managed to make a trip south to TX to visit family. I actually added two states on this trip, TX & LA. That brings our total to 35 - almost there (not really.)

I took this picture of Valley of the Ten Peaks at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada - one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
