Video: Traveling the United States

Okay, guys, it's time for another pop quiz, and this is a tough one. In the United States, where is the one place you can stand and be in four states at the same time? The Four Corners. That's where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona all meet together.

Thanks, Anna. Your'e absolutely right. If you travel to the Four Corners, you'll find it's an incredibly stunning part of the country, but even if you never leave your hometown, a story or a poem can help you imagine not only what a place looks like, but what it sounds like and tastes like, too.

I always like summer best.
You can eat fresh corn from Daddy's garden
and okra and greens

and cabbage

and lots of barbecue and buttermilk

and homemade ice cream at the church picnic

and listen to Gospel music outside

at the church homecoming

and go to the mountains with your grandmother

and go barefooted

and be warm all the time,

not only when you go to bed

and sleep.

If you're ever lucky enough to get down to Tennessee for a visit, you're in for a real treat, but even if you never get there,

there are plenty of fascinating places to visit right in your own home state. And speaking of states, it's time for another word from one of our sponsors:

Hi, I'm Cathy.

Looking for fun things to do? Well, come to my home, Florida. It's the Sunshine State, and it has it all. We've got beaches and theme parks, forests, cities, and swampland. Our climate is subtropical, which means it's toasty warm year around. It's perfect for the alligators and manatees who live in the everglades. And check out the amazing islands of the Florida Keys, where you can go coral reef diving and swim with dolphins. So come to Florida  and have an ice-cold glass of orange juice to go.

Thanks, Cathy.
