The most important things in life are not things. They're the people and places and memories and pictures. They're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter. In this busy world we live in, sometimes we need to slow down and spend time with the people we love and live in the only moment that really matters: now. Over the past nine days we disconnected from social media and the internet. We packed the car and drove west to see some beautiful natural places. Along the way, we made memories to last a lifetime. You only live once but if you do it right once is enough.  The journey west never gets old: from the tall pines of northern Minnesota to green corn fields and grass prairies of the plains where the horizon seems to stretch on forever, over and around buttes and rivers, through tunnels and around the needles of the Black Hills of South Dakota, and finally past the ranches of Wyoming until we hit the impressive Rocky Mountain range bursting up from the horizon in Colorado.
