22 more postcards!

We have 22 new postcards! We were on vacation for a week and the mailman kept all of our postcards. He brought our mail today and we ended up getting 22 postcards! Woah! What an awesome day! Me and my mom and Chloe were so excited, we couldn't wait for the mail to come! Now we are so impressed with how many states we have. In case you don't know, we have 20 states!!
Some people sent more than one postcard, that's why we have so many. For example, my Aunt Becky sent one from Washington D.C. and two from Virginia. She said she thinks she's going overboard.
Oh yeah! And we got a whole package from Rhode Island from our cousins Samantha and Ethan. They sent us coffee syrup, which is what they use to make coffee milk - the state drink of Rhode Island. They say that they love it but we didn't try it yet because we don't have any milk. We need to go to Publix. Samantha took pictures of all kinds of cool stuff around Rhode Island. Rhode Island's nickname is the Ocean State.
One of the postcards is from Ohio and it has pictures of Lighthouses on Lake Erie. Mom told me that my great, great grandfather was the captain of a ship in Lake Erie and he would use those lighthouses to know where he was.
