I was looking at my own blog today. I went through all of it, remembering what kind of crap I did this year (so far). One of the most definite awesome highlights from this year was the USA roadtrip we took in the spring. I copied some of the images from each spot we stopped in and reposted them here. I absolutely loved this trip!! It was me, sam, bella, our friend erin, and sam's brother, mom, and grandma, all packed into a minivan for a 4,000 mile trip. Dare I say, it may of been one of the best times in my life?... I do say yes.We flew to San Fransisco, then drove through Yosemite, Grand canyon, new mexico, texas, georgia, then down to orlando, then flew back from Georgia. We experienced temperature changes everywhere between 39 degrees and 93 degrees in a little more than 3 weeks time. If you want to see all the details from this amazing trip, look back through my old posts in May 2009.Here's some highlights.
