As most of you know, I had a crazy summer of traveling. I was home in Denver for I think a total of 13 days all summer!
I started the summer with a trip to visit one of my best Alpha Kappa Psi buddies in Morgantown, West Virginia. I drove from Detroit to Morgantown. The road took me down Michigan, through Ohio (West to East), through Pennsylvania (North to South), and into West Virginia. She had just graduated from WVU, so I went to celebrate with her and her family. Here is a picture of her and I.

My next adventure took me to Chicago. I met up with some old coworkers from my Nissan Project in Nashville. We really just hung out in the city all weekend, went shopping, and ate some fantastic food. Here are a few pictures of Chicago (one of my favorite cities!)

I think one of the best trips of the summer came when I treated my mom to a trip to New York City. It was her birthday, and I figured since I had a lot of points saved up, I would treat us to a great weekend. After flying First Class to New York, and taking a Lincoln Towncar to the Waldorf Astoria (where we stayed the first night), the first night was spent to watching the Steve Miller Band at Radio City Music Hall! (My boss' husband is their Tour Manager and he got us 3rd Row Tickets!!!). After the concert we got backstage passes and drank a few beers with the band members and "their crew."

The next few days were spent sightseeing throughout the city, we went to a few broadway musicals, saw the Statue of Liberty, The Met, and a ton of other place. We had so much fun and it was fantastic to spend time with my mom!

After New York I went to San Francisco for the first time. My friend from college, Eric, is in law school at UC Davis. For the summer he took an internship in the city, and he wanted me to go up to see the city with him. We visited several vineyards, and explored all around San Francisco.

I was able to make a few more trips, but no pictures were really taken. Those pictures were Las Vegas (the big one), and New Mexico for UNM's football game vs. Texas A&M
