My beau and I had initially planned to drive cross country over two weeks this summer, but thanks to the replies we got here we realize that is a tad ridiculous. Instead we have decided to keep it coastal and tour the gulf and east coast. Our tentative itinerary would take us about 4500 miles over 2 weeks, though we could easily cut about 500 miles off the trip by skipping Maine.

Here is our thought so far:

Richmond, VA to Gulf Shores, AL
Gulf Shores to St. Petersburg, FL
St. Petersburg to The Keys
The Keys to Savannah, GA
Savannah, GA to Chincoteague Island, VA
Chicoteague to Providence, RI/Boston, MA
RI/MA to Bangor, Maine
Bangor to NE PA

These stops aren't set in stone, but more like guide marks. We are kind of looking for our forever home during the process. Any suggestions or quaint destinations would be greatly appreciated.
