Dawn’s Summer Vacation Road Trip Photos – Round 1
Road trippen!! Gary and I LOVE road trips. Our close friend Erin is a 5th generation Nevadan, so when she told us she was leaving Nevada for Minnesota for her career we knew we had to come and visit her, and we did so with a road trip!! Thought I would show you our route…Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Erin’s house in Minnesota. Then when we left her place our route back was Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and back to Texas. We had some stops along the way and for the next few weeks I will be rolling out those photos!
This is the map of the route we took for our big road trip!
To get to Texas to start our road trip we flew, here we are at the Sacramento Airport happy to be leaving soon!
Here we are in Denver for our connecting flight to Austin, yes there are NO direct flights from Sacramento to Austin you have to connect somewhere..
In Leander, Texas at our close friends house who just had a baby boy!

Since our route thru Oklahoma took us by the town of Tishomingo which happens to be where Miranda Lambert’s first Pink Pistol store is (her second is in Lindale Texas where she grew up and yes I’ve been to that store!) so hellloooo of course we had to stop in and take a little break from driving!!

Her store in Texas is pretty great but I gotta say this one in Oklahoma is a bit better, her and her hubby Blake Shelton live here and I was SO hoping she would walk in but booooo she didn’t! Day 1 road trip continues next week…..
