50 @ 50 status update

Yup, two posts in one day from me.  We got home Monday from a 10 day, 3400+ mile road trip.  We went up to Grand Forks, ND to see Matt, then to Medora, ND for the musical, then to Miles City, MT where I checked off state #48, then to Sturgis, SD to check out a cemetery where some of Sherry’s relatives are buried (I have geo-tagged photos of the tombstones that she’ll probably put up on ancestry.com soon), then to Rapid City, SD, then Mt. Rushmore, then over to Sioux Falls to pick up my mother, back to Mitchell for a family reunion, then down across Iowa to the Amana Colony, to Galesburg, IL and on home.  It was a lot of driving, but we had a good time and it was great to spend time with Matt and my aunts, uncles, and cousins.  As a result, I have now been in all of the contiguous 48 states.  The only remaining ones to accomplish 50@50 are, of course, Alaska and Hawaii.
