Check out just a few of Marie and Mike's Road Trip Pictures across the US. We started the trip on Saturday, October 1, 2005 and completed the trip on Saturday, October 8, 2005. Definitely the best vacation I have ever had...We saw a full range of weather from hot and muggy in the East to a 12 inch snow storm in West...Some places you never want to see again, to places we never wanted to leave...It was the ultimate "field trip"...
