Go West, Young Man!

And so commenceth Nelson Family Roadtrip 2009, or as I'm calling it in my head, "Go West Young Man!"

What had orignally been my parents' 25th anniversary Santa Fe trip has instead become the epic "Move Laura Out to Los Angeles and Have Vacation Simultaneously" trip, since I'll need a car for my internship this summer in Woodland Hills, a Los Angeles suburb.

THE TRAIL MAP

If you're interested in following our progress, check out this map.

The pushpins means we've been there already. The lines are the routes between sites (be sure to look at the distances and times!) and the other symbols are places yet to be visited.

Click each icon for more information about the location! You can also zoom in or out and change the terrain.



More to come!

Enjoy your summers, everyone.
