July with a Twang

A note on the title: Every time I hear 'July' I think of the character in Lonsome Dove and want to say it "Joo-Lie" with a twang.

Summer is officially here! I am done with classes and Grant and I are moving on to planning trips this summer! List of destinations and fellow adventurers: Captains Grant and Katie Baker, chief partners in crime and the makers of all good summer playlists and chai. Executive co-pilot Nicole Matlock, legal counsel and the bringer of humor and cheer; Matt Matlock and Stephen Tyree, tech crew and navigators of all things culinary. Together, this band of rebels, will cruse through the mid-west of 'Merica in search of the Great Awesome of summer roadtrips in a futile (but beautiful) resistance of the next looming semester of higher education and adult jobdom.

This past weekend was only the beginning of our adventures....
