If you're going to be in DeSmet, see if you can go a few miles farther to Aberdeen. I think the Storybook Gardens are there, a delightful way to remember nursery rhymes. Great ideas! The only other thing I'd add (which isn't literature-specific) is to get info from state tourist bureaus. Sometimes you can stumble on some great little-known attractions or festivals along your route. Linda´s last blog post..Numbered Days: Historic Forestville

This sounds like such a wonderful trip. I would love to do something like this. Maybe when my kids are a little older.

Thanks! I just ordered The Tree In the Trail, as we enjoyed Minn of the Mississippi in the past, and this sounds beautiful. I don't think we'll make it to Santa Fe or the Petrified Forest; there are so many places I want to visit in the Southwest, I'll need to go back on another trip!

Sounds wonderful! Years ago we fantasized about a Laura Ingalls Wilder pilgrimage. I really wanted to go to Arkansas too, where Laura ended up and all the Rose books (written by her daughter) were set.

But re New Mexico. Must read: The Tree in the Trail: http://www.amazon.com/Tree-Trail-Holling-C/dp/039554534X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243468706&sr=1-1

Also, if passing through Santa Fe, check out Los Golandrinas, a living history museum south of town. This historic hacienda on the Camino Real is the setting for the American Girl “Josephina” books.

This sounds so wonderful. I hope you have a really great trip. If you are heading across northern Arizona to see the Grand Canyon,the Meteor Crater outside Winslow is pretty cool, too. And the Petrified Forest. And then there’s the Sunset Crater north of Flagstaff, a relatively recent volcano, where you can see lava flows. (About 900 years ago). And then there’s…

Have a really great time.

This is something my husband and I have wanted to do with our kids for some time. Glad to see someone else living out a dream of ours. We've traveled to various countries overseas with our kids which was great when we were studying world history. Now that we are studying American history, it would be a great to do a "field trip" to see the places we've studied. Like 9to5to9, we would love to travel in our camper.

Yeah, some days it really does feel like I'm living the dream. I couldn't wait for my kids to get old enough to be fun travel companions, now I want to hold onto this time, and never let go! Sandra Foyt´s last blog post..How To Plan A Read Across America Road Trip
