If you took a look at the last post, then you may have noticed that things went from mainly cities, to moving into the National Parks – and it was at this point that I really, truly felt like the adventures were beginning…

My favorites… (post 1)

I’ve been asked where my favorite spots were on the trip, and that’s very difficult to answer. Everything – and I really do meanĀ everything – was just awesome to see. I thought there would be more hiccups on the trip, and that really never happened (thankfully!). To close out these posts, I’m going to post my favorite images from the spots I visited – and trust me, this was really hard to do – but the process of going through all of the photos (almost 6,000 of them) has been a blast because it’s really allowed me to relive everything.

I’m not sure exactly how many posts this is going to take, because I’m limited on post length, but I’ll post them in order of the trip over the course of a couple blog entries.
