Finally, A Road Trip Summary

So the road trip is long gone, but as I look back at the stress-free days on the road I thought it would be cool to post some cool panoramic pictures and give you all some stats from our trip.

First, here are the stats...

Rainier, Olympic, North Cascades, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Wind Cave, and Badlands)

Anyway, those are the stats I can think of right now. The trip was awesome and, as far as I know, we have no regrets. The last few weeks in Minnesota have been great, and I'll keep you updated on where we land next!

Odessa Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park

 A cool arch, don't remember which one

The Yosemite Valley, what an awesome place

Crater Lake, maybe the most beautiful place on Earth

See Mt. St. Helens in this picture?

Mt. Rainier

Just one of the amazing views at North Cascades

Wall Drug is not a cool place, but the sign is pretty cool

Thanks so much for following the blog during our travels! I hope everyone had a great summer, I know we did!
