Ramblings | Summer 2023 Road Trip
Phwew! This summer has flown by. It’s hard to believe that school has already started again and the road trip that we had been anticipating for a year has now come and gone!
I am planning on covering some of the destinations we went to in more detail in their own individual posts, but I wanted to provide an overview of the trip first.
We traveled over 4,000 miles through seven states. We saw some of the most beautiful areas of the country, some of which I have been waiting for years and years and years to finally visit (helllooooo Yellowstone!). It was really incredible to not only experience these amazing places, but also to share the experiences with Lily. She’s my favorite travel buddy!
