5,346 miles, 6 states, and 114 people

So we took another road trip.

It’s been a while since we visited Mom and Dad in St Louis, and since fall is such an incredible time of year, we decided to drive the 1,700-mile route. Along the way we made stops in Colorado to visit friends we haven’t seen since moving to Montana three years ago, more friends in Kansas and Missouri, and finally some time with friends and our kids in Utah. Four weeks later, we’d traveled through 6 states (multiple times) and put 5,346 miles on our car.

More importantly, though, we saw so many amazing people. It was awesome to have places to stay wherever we went, hang out with old friends, enjoy favorite restaurants, and marvel at the perfect fall weather. Out of curiosity, I counted the people we spent time with, and came up with 114 of them. Take a deep breath…
