home : galleries : Summer Break, 2004

In early June, Alison and I traveled back to South Dakota to visit family and friends. While there, we also visited friends Jay and Daniel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These are the photographs from that trip. First, we have photos from Milwaukee. The highlight from Milwaukee was visiting the Asian Moon Festival, a celebration of different Asian countries and their respective cultures.
