Rory roadtrip

 When Rory told me he was coming home this summer I forced him to road trip back with me and I think he was not mad about it. I flew to Missoula and we went out on the town before waking up early for the drive back to Minneapolis. Our first day we drove to Deadwood and found out it was Sturgis. To be fair I found the Sturgis to be disappointing and not very rowdy. We went out in Deadwood and did not see any ghosts.

This is Rory’s favorite bar: The Bloody Nose Saloon

The next day we drove to Wall Drug for yucky coffee and The Badlands, which were spectacular and rattle snake free. Rory’s favorite part was taking a photo on the Wall Drug jackalope.

I then got to spend a whole week with Rory and it was epic and I didn’t get sick of him at all. We celebrated the beginning of his grad school journey and saw music and sang karaoke and generally low key partied all week and it ruled. Now my heart is broken because I miss Rory.

Torin’s bachelorette party

 Torin is getting married! Torin, Caitlin, Mehgan and I celebrated by spending the weekend at my cabin. Caitlin made us a feast of vegan food, we floated and boated, we played games, we napped, some of us worked out, one of us got arrested and we had matching t shirts. Did we photograph any of that? No. Here are some photos of us at Franconia on our way to the party. The rest remains memories for our brains.

This is the legendary camo dress.

 What a day, what a crew and what a boat (a double decker pontoon with a water slide).
