The Smart Road Trip

Some people have asked, why the giant road trip? I look at them and reply back, "Why not?!" You get to see the world and all the beautiful sights that you normally don't get to see because you're trapped in your cubicle at work. Well rather than being trapped I've decided to just run out there and go see the world (well, at least the U.S.) while I'm still young and have the stamina for it. But of course there are certain goals I have that I hope to achieve while I go through my road trip. In no particular order, here they are:

• Visit every chapter/colony of my fraternity
• Visit every state capitol (in the continental U.S.)
• Visit a few internationally designated dark skies to see as many stars as possible
• Go to every museum that NASA has to offer
• Visit friends and family I normally only see once in a blue moon

If you want more information on any of the above goals here are links to help you see where these locations are:

• Fraternity: Delta Lambda Phi
• Astronomy: International Dark Sky Association
• NASA: Visitor centers and museums
