4,044 miles. 4,191 photos. 2 National Parks. 2 National Monuments. 3 cave explorations. and A GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone!  I’m back from a lovely trip with the family.  Where did we go you might ask??

Well, we started off here in the Twin Cities and headed for Mount Rushmore, next we headed off to Yellowstone, and then to Craters of the Moon in Idaho.  After that we headed north to Glacier National Park and came back home via North Dakota to visit some friends.

I won’t bore you with lots of pictures (right now at least), there is a whopping 4,194 of them.  Yes,  I really did take that many photos in 2 weeks which boils down to about one photo per mile of our journey.    I haven’t even cracked the surface with them, but here’s two of my favorite’s from Glacier:

I’ll share some more of my trip and some photos a bit later  (when I’ve had a chance to sort through them a bit.)  Right now I’m spending a bit of time with my sewing machine (making a backpack for Gwyneth who starts preschool tomorrow!)

And now for the GIVEAWAY!!
