...and I got some good pics: http://imgur.com/a/pvWyq

The trip was Virginia > Grand Canyon > Yosemite > Seattle > Yellastone > Virginia. Overall my 25 year old van held up pretty well. It was leaking coolant from the radiator in Seattle when I stopped for an oil change, so that was a surprise $700, but what can ya do.

While all the places we stopped were pretty epic, the best part of the trip was cruising in the van. New Mexico is awesome. Arizona is awesome. I wouldn't mind moving to Oregon to be a lumberjack. And Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming were much more gorgeous than I imagined – probably my favorite part of the country. Even South Dakota was pretty cool.

More pics of the trip if anyone is curious: http://imgur.com/a/Q3qs7
