First, I looked at the Contiguous United States, the lower 48 states.  Alaska is not part of the “Contiguous United States”, because it is not attached directly to the lower 48 states. Therefore, Hawaii and Alaska are not included in our road trip list.  We are in the process of picking one attraction in each state. Some have two, but if we have unlimited time, I’m sure we will visit more than a couple attractions in each area.The following is a work in progress and rough draft:
