Empty Nesters - Out westers
Well we did it! Dropped our son off at Lawrence University in Appleton WI to study and play football for 4 years...

We took a month to drive to the following locations:

Voyageurs NP
Theodore Roosevelt NP
Yellowstone NP
Grand Teton NP
Badlands NP
Mt Rushmore

We put over 5500 miles on the rental car and had the trip of a lifetime. We flew from St Thomas to Detroit visited with family for a day, rented a car and began the drive! We drove north to the Upper Peninsula of MI and around the lake, down to Appleton WI where we spent 4 days getting our son settled in. What a great town!

The rest is here, as you know we like to do our trip reports in photos...

Enjoy!

Empty Nesters Out Westers

Janet

What wonderful photos - I loved seeing those, especially as we're thinking about a road trip in 2011 that takes in Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore.
