MonroadTrip: A Quick Recap

Since my camera is dead and Chris is over in Europe, I'm relying strictly on my cell phone photos for this recap. 3 weeks, 4,000 miles, and 15 states (plus the District) was quite the adventure!

Maggie was such a trooper. We made sure she was as comfy as possible in her crate as we drove across the country.

Our first day took us to Bozeman, Montana. We then spent the second day exploring Yellowstone National Park.

I can't wait to share my camera photos from Yellowstone, it was so beautiful!

After camping in Yellowstone, we made our way to Rapid City, South Dakota. It was so cute! They have a statue for every US president.

The next day we got up early to see the sunrise at Mount Rushmore. Besides the park ranger, we were the only people in the park!

From Mt. Rushmore we made our way through South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to have with a weekend in Chicago. We were able to see some of our closest friends and experience THIS:

From Chicago we made our way to Michigan for 10 days. We spent most of our time in Michigan seeing family, filling up on Biggby Coffee, and enjoying our home. We also went to a Detroit Lions pre-season game!

After Michigan we drove to Washington, DC. We enjoyed up our last few days together in my favorite city. Besides all the fun we had, we also had to take our car to the VPC so that it could be shipped to Germany.

So that leads us to where we are now. Where am I? Michigan. Where is Chris? Germany. 

At first I was pretty disappointed to not fly out with Chris. This was going to be our "true" first move together, and somehow we added a period of separation to it. Even though we didn't want it this way, there are some positives to situation. He's over there, figuring out housing, cell phones, and all his paperwork right now so when I get there everything has settled down. I should be arriving right around when our boxes and car arrives, which will be nice. 

I can't wait to get to Germany and get to work, but until then I'm soaking up some "Pure Michigan" and my family.
