We spent a week on the road, driving to St Paul, Minnesota, and then flying home yesterday. We left my old car with our son, who has been living in St Paul for a year without a car. We had a wonderful time, seeing parts of the country that are kind of out of the way. Well, unless you live there. If you do, consider yourself lucky! The week got gradually warmer.
What I wore:
1. Jeans and tee, hiking shoes
2-3. Memorial Day - nylon hiking pants, graphic tee, hiking shoes
4-5. Layered up in the early morning (40F), and then later in the day - nylon hiking pants, graphic tee, hiking shoes, grey hoodie, Patagonia nanopuff vest, Tilley hat
6. Nylon hiking pants, graphic tee and hiking shoes
7. Striped shirt, jeans and hiking shoes for dinner.
8-9. Grey print shorts, white boatneck sleeveless tee, chambray shirt for AC, white sneakers.
10. Denim crops, striped tee, white sneakers
11. Grey shorts, white sleeveless embroidered top, white sneakers
Bonus Pics:
Devil's Tower, Bison in Custer State Park, SD, truck parked next to us,
Mt Rushmore, bighorn sheep in Badlands NP, uh oh - several hour delay - we needed to buy new tires, view from our hotel in St Paul.
Verdict:
I took too much for cold weather. I packed for the forecast, but as we travelled, the forecast got warmer and warmer. I could have used some sandals. I only brought hiking shoes and Stan Smith sneakers. Our trip was terrific. Everything was great, but I was really wowed by Custer State Park in SD. It's fabulous!
