I grew up in a small town in rural Virginia. My folks didnt have the money to do much traveling so I didnt see anything except my own backyard (so to speak) for 18 years. When I went on my first trip to Montana in college, I was mesmerized. A few of my galpals and I drove there from VA. Ive been convinced ever since that there is nothing that can replace real life experiences. You have to get out there and see it to truly appreciate this awesome country of ours. Your kids will only benefit.
