Happy belated birthday, America! Like most in my country, I spent the weekend surrounded by an obnoxious level of Americana and World Cup viewing parties. (Sports!)
I also got teased for my time outside of America. "Ya sure you shouldn't be wearing a maple leaf?!" ...Yeah, because how much of our country did you see last year? Oh, you went to Vegas and Orlando? Oh, ok. Well, I saw this much: Wisconsin; Minnesota; South Dakota; Wyoming; Montana; Idaho; Washington; Oregon; California; Nevada; Arizona; New Mexico; Colorado; Nebraska; Iowa; and Illinois.
Badlands National Park
Mt. Rushmore National Memorial
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
Buffalo!
Livingston, Montana
Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park
Tillamook State Forest, Oregon
Mt. Shasta, California
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
I drove over it!
Maria & I - Family Visit in San Francisco
Colorado Highway
I have an excessive amount of pictures - it was difficult to choose. The point is that our country is vast, varied, and very drive-able. As beautiful as our patchwork quilt is from a 747 flying at 30,000 feet, there's nothing like the experience of traversing it yourself.
Go explore.
