Helene in Between
We are getting ready to plan our summer road trip.  We were originally planning a trip to Iceland for our 5 year anniversary, but we had quite a few things come up for the summer and possible work travel, so we are going to put that on the back burner for now and stay in the good old United States for our vacation.

Road trips are one of our favorite things to do together.  We have driven through at least 23 states over the 8 years we’ve been together (see purple highlights on the map).  There is nothing better than new territory to explore, the best karaoke stage in the world and your favorite person sitting next to you.  I can’t wait to head south this year and explore some new places.

The blue highlighted circle is the area we plan to go this time.  My mother in law’s family lives in Arkansas, so we plan on visiting them for sure.  Catching a baseball game or two would be pretty awesome as well.  Other than that, we have no plans, so any suggestions or places not to miss would be awesome.

In the meantime, I’ll share with you some of our favorite songs for the car: Roadtrippin Music

Can’t wait to mess with Texas.

Also, I should mention that today at 5:00 PM, our governor will sign the bill on the steps of the capitol to make Minnesota the 12th state that has marriage equality.  I had tears in my eyes on my run last night watching people celebrate.  More on that tomorrow when it’s officially happened.
