Well, as you can probably guess from our pictures, we were on vacation last week. I had 2 weeks of ER at the beginning of the month then we had vacation. We decided to drive out west. First we spent a couple days at Jason's (Mike's cousin) house and visited with Mike's Aunt and Grandparents. It was the first time that Cori actually met them because they don't travel anymore. We had a very nice time. We then went to the black hills and spent the rest of the week camping, hiking, and sightseeing in Southwest South Dakota. It may not sound like the most spectacular vacation spot, but if you've never been, it's a truly beautiful part of our country. It is amazing to think of the diversity of God's creation after visiting the Masai Mara in Africa this spring and contrast it with the rolling Black Hills.
We spent 4 nights camping in a tent and only got rained on the last night! Otherwise we had absolutely perfect camping weather, cool nights, and warm days. It was interesting because both of us had been to the Black Hills as kids with our families. We went back and saw Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse carving, Devil's Tower, and the Badlands together. We put over 2000 miles on our rental car!
We got back home and Mike has had another week off since he hasn't been called in to work this week! It's been very nice getting to spend more time at home together and get some things marked off the to-do list! We are really enjoying Rochester and if anyone feels up to traveling to Minnesota we would love to see you.
