I'm almost done making a book about our adventure with all the details. But I still wanted to put up some pictures on my blog, some highlights. (let me warn you we probably took over 2000 pictures between Pehrson and myself. So cutting it down was hard.

I can't even tell you in words how fun this trip was. We were non-stop. Just the way I like it! Definitely one I will never ever forget. So grateful for cameras to capture these moments so we can show our kids someday. And so grateful for my little family. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else!
