On The Road
The first week of June, Nick and I went on a road trip vacation to visit our grandparents/relatives and squeeze some camping in on the side. My grandmother's are in Minnesota and South Dakota, and Nick's family is in Denver, and his grandparents in Kansas. For some extra fun we threw in a few days camping in the Black Hills. This all added up to 2700 miles in ten days and one of the best times I've had on vacation. I loved catching up with my relatives, getting to teach Nick's five year old nephew how to ice skate all by himself and meeting Nick's mom's family for the first time was awesome. I will definitely be heading back down for another visit this summer. :D
So much happened on the trip that the write up would take longer than just posting fun pictures... (You can click on the pictures to see the whole albums).

My mom's old family farm, Timber Lake, SD. They're in the process of burning down all the buildings/debris since the structures were so old. Mostly what was left was piles of old machinery and a bunch of my uncle's old cars.
