I had a great birthday today.  It started out by getting woke up with a phone call from my brother, Jim.  He forgets that I don’t work in the summer and thinks I’m up at 6:30 every morning.  But it was the thought that counts.  Then this afternoon the girls & I went and got [...]

We got home around 1:00 today and we were all very happy to see our house.  We are used to such long drives, that four hours today was nothing.  We all had such energy when we got home.  Nate mowed the lawn, I went grocery shopping and started on the laundry.  We decided that it would [...]

We made it all the way across North Dakota in one day!  Wow….that was so boring!  At least we had sunshine today.  We are so ready to be home tomorrow.  We’re getting an early start so that we’ll be home by early afternoon.  It’s been a great trip and the girls are the best travelers.   [...]

We saw our first rainfall today….and lots of it.  It was okay though, because we were done sightseeing and needed to drive 7 hours across Montana and into North Dakota.  The rain wasn’t too bad until our last 20 minutes of driving.  It really came down hard.  We needed a good carwash.  Once we got [...]

We spent our day in Montana today at the Museum of the Rockies.   This museum was filled with dinosaur bones that have been found here in Montana, some of them as recent as 2006.  The picture above is “Mike the dinosaur”.  Megan & Kelly said he reminded them of the dinosaur in the movie, “Night [...]

I saw my favorite spot in Yellowstone today.  It was at a spot called Artists’ Point.  It was located in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  This spectacular view consisted of a waterfall, colored rocks or cliffs, and pine trees all around.  I can’t wait to show you some pictures.  This was a view that you’d [...]

We spent our entire day in Yellowstone National Park today.  This park is so huge that you could spend two weeks in here and still not see everything!  We made so many stops along the way and saw so many beautiful things.  One of our first stops was to get out and spend some time [...]

Today we started out by traveling through the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota and then out to Wyoming.  Our first stop was to see Devils Tower just as you enter Wyoming.  What a cool rock this was to see.  They’re were even climbers on it as we sat and watched them attempt to climb this [...]

 
What a great day we had today.  We started out by visiting Bear Country USA.  It is a wildlife park in which you drive through the 30 mile park.  There are between 120-140 brown & black bears in this park.  They actually come right up to the car and walk across the road.  You are [...]

It was a long and successful first day of vacation.  The first 3/4 of the drive consisted of farms, farms, cows, farms, some rolling hills, then back to farms.  That was really boring!  Then we came to the badlands and ohhhh, the drive was gorgeous!  We drove through the Badlands National Park.  It’s about a [...]
