Out West Trip Article

grand canyon - 1 jun 2011

Yikes! When we got home from our epic trip last year, I decided to rearrange all my blogs and then we moved. And then I never created a post linking to all my posts about our super amazing trip. Looking back on all these posts, I can’t believe all that we saw, learned and did on our trip!! I sure wish we could do another one like it this summer, but I fear that it isn’t in the cards.
