Route 666?

I had the strangest thought this morning while driving to work. Someday soon (like in 5 years or so) I'd really like to take a whole summer off and do the classic cross country trip. I'd really like to go with my kiddo, who would be just the right age to appreciate his hip old mom's spirit while alternately pouting about missing a summer with his friends. Of course I don't think I'd mind being by myself to awfully much either. My best-best-best girlfriend Steph would be fun too. I have it in my head that I need to go see all the national parks, and eat pecan pie in Georgia, swim off the gulf coast, eat key lime pie in Florida, see the quilts of the Midwest, eat lobster in Maine, hmmm, I like eating...
