What do you do when you come to one of life’s important milestones? I turned 50 in April, and to mark the occasion I took a road trip through the south central United States. I traveled through 9 states and logged 3721 miles during the 18 days. Part of the trip was with my husband, Burt, and other parts were on my own. I visited friends along the way, and also met some new people. Here are some of the photos from those 18 days.
