Nine States in Nine Months

Some people, like Great Grandmother Embry, happily live their entire lives without traveling more than 100 miles from their birthplace. Others yearn to see the world. In our short lives, we twins have already made a good start at global travel. Born in Kentucky, we first visited southern Indiana at just six weeks old. Real travel began with visits to see Grandma and Granddad Roe. On our first trip to their Florida home we added Tennessee, Georgia and Florida to our resume. On our second trip, we detoured over to visit Great Aunt Roberta and Uncle John adding Alabama as our sixth state. Recently, we visited the Grands in Kansas City and picked up Illinois and Missouri on the way. Since their home was only a few miles from the state line, Mommy and Daddy made a special trip over the boarder to collect Kansas as our ninth state. The folks will have to really scramble to get us to all 50 states by 50 months old.
