You will just love reading all about the beautiful state parks right here in the US and trying to figure out which one to visit first (or crossing off the one's you've already visited, because state parks rock!). Oh, and plotting out which route to take so that you don't miss out on any jaw-dropping sights during your road trips.” –abookishwayoflife.blogspot.com
