Places I Want to See

So, I have been cleaning and packing on this yucky snowy Wednesday, and thought I'd take a break and do a little more research. Today I was looking at all the cities I want to visit while we are back east. So I got onto MapQuest to see how far certain cities were from Columbus, and this is what I found....
