The trip of a lifetime (or at least trip of my kid's lifetime to date)

To no one's surprise who knows us, Sabrina and I like to travel. We recently traveled to the tune of more than 4,500 miles in the air and 2,000 miles on the ground. My brother lives in Boston and we took a trip out to visit him and his family.

They were gracious enough to host us (and provide us with good food) for several days before we headed out on the longest vacation I've ever been on (not including my exchange program in high school). I have driven further on a trip before, and flown further on a trip before, but never spent so many days just enjoying time with my family.

 Sabrina and I referred to this trip as "the sampler". We got to do a lot of different things, visit a lot of different places, but for the most part, didn't spend nearly as much time as we could have at those places.

 Over the next few weeks (as we unwind and are able to write up some of these) we'll be posting about each day of the trip. For the mean time though, you can see where we went in the map below. The green markers are either places we visited, places we stayed, or places I put in to make the path behave itself.

Update, here's the picture I was going for. Sorry for those who didn't get it the first time
