back south! Each year on the return trip home we decide what our plans are for the following year. Originally I thought we were heading back out west to hit the rest of the National Parks since Emma will be a fourth grader. However, Florida moved up a year in its place. After reading the Harry Potter series, the big girls have been dying to go to Universal Studios, more precisely, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and now that Norah is tall enough to ride everything at Magic Kingdom, Disney (Florida) took the vote. The Richmonds are jumping on the Hogwarts Express!
It won't knock out any new states for their quest to see all 50 states, but we're doing pretty well with our state visits, so this will give us an opportunity to possibly revisit some of our favorite places on the way down.

| This year we explored 7 new states! We rolled into Kansas when it was getting dark so it was pretty hard to see, but we caught the rest of them! |

AWESOME! :) We are just a tad south of Orlando (maybe 4 hours?). Hopefully we can catch you on that trip- either up there or down here!
