Chicago!!
Julie asked for a bunch of photos so I took several selfies and random pictures to send to her while on the train... I realize now these are the only photos I have from the wonderful city of Chicago.

Sister love
What can I say other than we are too adorable?

The sister love continues in Yellowstone!!!
Kember insisting I take a photo of her with all her yellow clothing items with the yellow trees in the background, Kem stopping to take a photo of a rock with her camera, photo 3 was my take on that beautiful rock. 4 and 5 are me making fun of her hood that she had no idea of. Lastly photo 6, after we snuck into a lodge to shower we took a cute selfies:)

Day one of Yellowstone:)
Day Two!! We Got Snow!!!
Grand Tetons
To be honest not that grand, yes it was beautiful but theirs not much to do there. We did go on a hike and see a bear... So that was something unforgettable about the Tetons.

Long Dirt Roads
After leaving Yellowstone we stayed in Wyoming one more night. This was the coldest night yet! But woke up to a beautiful sunrise. So maybe it's worth it...

Here's a pano I took that morning... Kember still has her left leg I promise!
I can't help but smile:)
Colorado
Honestly didn't spend that much time taking photos in CO. It was too cold I suppose. A very beautiful place not doubt, Kember and I had a lot of laughs.

Canyonlands Utah!
First stop went for a small walk after entering the park (photos 1&2). Last picture is where we camped for the night.
Went for a long hike early after waking up. I believe this is the most photos I have ever taken.
Camped at Hamburger Point, watched the sun set on Vandy and headed to bed. The next morning we were off to explore the rest of Utah!
Canada!
Went for a nice hike. Also managed to go from Utah to Canada without taking any photos...
Not that anyone cares about these photos... just random pictures I took over the span of 5 days in Canada.
First one was a at a cabin my friends sister lives in. The next one is of a small boat-my pick of what boat we would own out of a whole marina and last one is a photo from a book I randomly picked up to and turned to this page. I think my teacher Mrs. Seltenreich would enjoy.

On the ferry back to the states:) my dad would have enjoyed this one.
Back to Washington
Found several paths, I like to take them as suggestions as should you all.
Classic selfies mid way through
Found the coast and could see Canada from where we stood. Kember yells at me for every photo I take with my feet hanging off a cliff. Sorry Mom...
Kember aka "mom" pulled me off this ledge
Drove a long way to hike to a hot springs!!
Found out the hot springs was a 10 mile hike and none of us were down for that. Our new westy friends told us about this waterfall just around the corner. Walked .1 miles and took this hot shot:)
Camped in Olympic National Park!
Woke up to find a foggy sky, miles of trees resting on the beach, as well as this perfect round rock I found... Nothing special, they were all like this.
Nice rainy drive through the forest and of course tree hugger Kember
Seattle part 2
Went to a cat bookstore of course, where we found half a dozen cats sleeping around the place. Thankfully Kem did not add to her massive book collection. Managed to snap a pic as she requested of this little guy sitting on her lap but he decided to jump off as I took the photo.
Oregon
Went for a hike with the fam:)
Escaped the haunted temple!! Still on the hunt for Scooby!! The rest of the Mystery squad sadly did not make it out.
Off to the coast of Oregon
I am not a fan of the beach but something about walking along the water at sunset is quite nice... There were hundreds of footsteps so I created my own path where no one walked.
Also here is a selfie of me, I wanted to take on with Kember but she got poison oak on her face leading her to quickly disagree.

Fun Fact: Right after this wonderful walk on the beach we got to our car and it would not start:)
Back on the road again. My sister thought my Dad would enjoy this photo of logging. So yea...
Found another beautiful beach, got to share this one with friends
Spent sometime wondering by the water, climbed a rock and had some laughs, even collected drift wood for a fire.
California
Discovered the Redwood forest. Spent some time wondering and creating our own paths in the woods.
Spent the night on the coast and woke up to our car not starting. Lucky me got to stand on the side of the road with jumper cables hoping someone would stop! Get this! No one did...
Visiting the Family
In love with this little guy... the baby is cute too.
Cheers to that!
Spent a lot of time with my family while in California...
Yea I am a farm girl
Something about blasting country music, riding in the truck bed of a truck and working on a farm really gets me doing. I would not mind doing that for a while.
The beautiful California sunsets
Arizona
Went to Joshua tree for a day, camped by Phenix then went for a beautiful hike in the morning.
Miles and miles of nothing.
New Mexico
We did not stay in New Mexico for long, went to White Sands National Monument, thats about it... We were driving for miles and miles in the middle of nowhere on a Highway 72 which surrounds you with desert every which way. Then there you are in a mass of beautiful untouched white sand.
TEXAS
Go BIG or go home...
Boy have I never spoke too soon, I was blasting my country music from Arizona through New Mexico and I was so excited to get to TEXAS. Yet there I was running through every channel on the radio and not one country song was playing, literally not one...
