Summer Games

No, I'm not talking about the summer olympics. I think it's the wrong year for that, anyway. I am referring to that sacred and most venerated of "'seeing the USA in your Chevrolet' with a few of your closest relatives and more luggage than Paris Hilton" travel games, collect the state license plates! (I can tell you're excited already!)

How many state plates can we claim together in the next week? Leave a comment or link to your flickr page or email me. Let's see if we can get them all!

These are the ones I've claimed, and I will admit, I sort of cheated. They were all spotted at this apartment complex in lovely San Antonio.

P1320787

It doesn't hurt that San Antonio is the home of several military bases. But hey, part of the fun of the game is being in the right seat at the right time. I have taken the liberty of blanking out numbers to preserve the privacy of the plates' owners.

Here goes, in no particular order--

Alabama,

P1320790

Pennsylvania (they're not speeding, they're qualifying!)

P1320945

Maryland (traffic must be rough in Maryland!)

P1320818

New York (The Empire State)

P1320939

Florida, the state that arguably has just as much sunshine as Texas,

P1320802

North South Carolina (The Sprittles in the North make me forget there's a South)

P1320809

and Maine.

P1320793

That gives me 7 so far. And I didn't even include Texas, because those plates are everywhere!

Your turn.

PS Foreign plates are included, too.
