Road trips........That wonderful feeling of packing up the car and hitting the open road.
Driving away from your home, your town, your state. Leaving behind the routine of daily living and heading for unknown adventures.
May 21st I did just that. I headed for South Dakota to pick up DJ's mom and dad.
Our destination was Okaloosa Island, Florida to visit Ben and be there for his graduation.
I have a huge dislike for flying and I had the time so I decided a 6,000 mile road trip was a much better idea!
My in laws were more than happy to join me, even though they don't mind flying.
I'm so glad they did! We had a wonderful time.
I will always look back fondly on that time with them :)

| This church caught my eye as I was traveling through miles of prairie land. Yes, I had to stop and explore a little bit :) |

 |
| Simple but beautiful. I am sad to say that when DJ and I went to South Dakota two weeks ago this church was completely burnt to the ground. That sweet little tree is now a black pole against the blue sky. St. Basil's Church was on the National Register of Historic places. Local families had restored it and took care of it for many years. |

| Pretty day on the prairie. |
 |
| So many stories inside those walls. |
 |
| I'm thankful for all the farmers who work so hard. |
Part 2 coming soon :)
