Millie up in the Bighorn Mountains. She was such a trooper.
No, this is not grass…this is the top of a bazillion tall evergreens. This photo taken right before I passed out from lack of oxygen. hee hee.
Along the way we had to stop for a 10 minute break for construction, so of course we all [...]

Piney Creek
After our amazing weekend in Sundance we headed further west, to Story, WY. On the way we stopped in Buffalo, WY – which, you would think would be named for the giant animals that were all over that part of Wyoming…but no, in that crazy Old West way, the townspeople put a bunch of names into [...]

Sundance, WY
When we were in Sundance, WY (the home of the Sundance Kid) we stayed in this Amazing Bed & Breakfast. There were 3 log cabins, so each family had their own space and then we could hang out together outside at the picnic table or up on the mountains (the kids favorite spot to hike [...]

So in a moment of desperation we pulled [...]

Days 1 & 2
The first day of our vacation was in the expected road trip style…driving. We started early in the morning in Pennsylvania and just logged mile upon mile through PA, Ohio, Indiana & landing somewhere in Illinois for some much needed sleep.
The second day we got into Iowa (the most BORING state to drive through [...]

Home Again, Home Again Jiggity Jig
We made it safely home from Wyoming — I’ll write more about the trip over the next few days, but just thought I’d say a quick Hello today!
We had a great time but while driving home I said to Garrison, “I feel like we’re rushing to our doom at 80 miles an hour” Just a [...]
