Important:
As of 2009, a passport or a passport-card is required to re-enter the U.S.A. on your way home.
For 2008, American and Canadian citizens just need two pieces of ID to cross the border into the U.S.A. They are:
1)
Government issued photo ID
such as a driver's license
2)
Proof of citizenship
such as your birth certificate or your naturalization document if you were not born in the U.S.A. or Canada. Don't forget the birth certificates for any minors in your group.
The passport requirement for land and sea crossings has been delayed until June, 2009.

Here is the latest about crossing the border
U.S. citizen must carry a Birth Certificate and valid identification (Driver’s License or State Identification) in order to cross U.S. land borders. However, the U.S. Passport Card eliminates the need for two separate pieces of identification. U.S. citizens living in border towns will also benefit from the new U.S. Passport Card. The Passport Card provides U.S. citizens with the convenience of traveling to Canada or Mexico by land, or taking a cruise to the Caribbean with a small and less expensive option than a regular U.S. Passport. The Passport Card also serves as a valid proof of identification for traveling by air within the United States, and may be used as proof of legal age for alcohol and tobacco purchases.
