Chris - this is how I would do it using a combination of Paint.net and Inkscape. Let me know if you have specific questions about my process.
You can adjust your "Brightness/Contrast" settings to keep the detail you want before saving, or else edit the file later to add any details you want
from the original. The long method would be to do a manual trace, but I assumed you were asking about auto trace.

Sometimes I use Photo2sketch to give me a place to start, perhaps it will help you TOO.

Here is another option. I used Vector Q (free app for Ipad) to do the auto trace and save as svg.
This is what it look like when opened with Inkscape.
