It's funny, when I lived in Illinois, I couldn't wait to travel and get out of there. Usually to Florida. It was, (and still is), a favorite warm weather vacation area for people in and around the Midwest. After we moved to Arizona, my urge to travel diminished. I guess it's because I was where I wanted to be.
We made several day trips all around Arizona to check out all of the sites. Grand Canyon & Lake Mead, Tombstone, Bisbee area, Yuma, and several others including a lot of Southern California and the Pacific Ocean, and the deserts between Az. and Cal. But after that I was content to stick around the homestead. I've always heard when you get older, you like to drive and travel more. For me it's been pretty much the opposite.
