Our 50 State Travels: Best Views

We travel to see, explore, smell, experience and taste. When Richard and I think back through our 50 State travels, an image appears in our head with each destination. Our brains have a funny way of documenting our lives - and it always amazes me what sticks out in our memories and what does not. The views certainly left a lasting impression for us.
