My husband and I have been together for eight years now and much of our time together has been on trips all around the country. We both love to travel and have been everywhere in the US except the North East. We met in college (undergrad) and after my last class for my BA in Psych (literally right after the graduation ceremony) we went on an all summer long trip to Florida and back to Colorado. The little Vanagon in this picture is our first home on the road together. I took this shot back in 2000 (the picture you are looking at is a photo of a photo) in Blue Earth Minnesota. I choose this one for the theme this week because when I think of the word road I cannot help but think about all the trips we have taken together and this shot was from early on in our first trip together.
Edited to add... in the comments section of this post I was asked if that is the Jolly Green Giant in the background...Yes it is and he was HUGE! I have other pictures of the two of us standing under him and his ankle towered over us. We found out about him in one of the AAA guides and traveled to Blue Earth just to see him. Also someone asked me if the sign in the photo said crafts...actually it said Rafts, there was a local place down that road that rented rafts for a nearby lake.
