(still) Living Aloha! : The road to Michigan--->

My road trip to Michigan was by far the most incredible road trip I have taken to date. Which sounds funny because it doesn't sound like that would be possible, however I made many stops, saw many sites, took tons of pictures, and made it my own. And I loved every mile!!!

I calculated 11 states in 11 days:

Oregon

Washington

Idaho

Montana

Wyoming

South Dakota

Minnesota

Wisconsin

Illinois

Indiana

Michigan

It was a whirlwind but I cannot wait to do it all over again on the way back!

Last photo of Oregon (1) for awhile:

Missed the Washington boarder (2) but here is good ol' Idaho (3):

Coeur d'Alene Lake

Sideways driving into Montana (4):

(one night I was so tired and the two hours to Billings seemed horrendous so I slept in my car in a Walmart parking lot. Yes, I was that person:)

More sideways driving into Wyoming (5)

Hello South Dakota (6):

Stopped for lunch with some old friends:

Ran into some ancestors:

Stayed the night in Winner, SD where my cousin and her husband recently moved to open a dental practices as well as bring baby Forrest into the world:

(meeting me is exhausting)

Stopped in Mitchell, SD to view the Corn Palace:

Being welcomed by Minnesota (7):

I was able to stop and see my old boss from Arizona when I worked for his Chiropractic practice in 2006-2007. He had moved back to his hometown to open a practice there and hadn't seen each other since I left Arizona (the first time) for a nannying job in Washington DC.
