I Love Camping!
On Thursday Lyle called to ask if I wanted to go camping that night and Friday night. Of course I did! We decided we could take the camper up to the state park that night and spend the night, then he would go to work on Friday. He thought I could stay out there with the kids on Friday, but…

Montana Trip
We took our new RV to Kalispell, Montana to the Montana homeschool convention this past weekend. That was fun! Since it was the holiday weekend we stayed over an extra day and went to Glacier National Park. We were disappointed that the pass on the Going-to-the-Sun Road was still closed, so we couldn’t go all the way over it. We…

Camping
Camping was great… 48 hours is just too short. We didn’t get to spend as much time with “just us” as we usually do. We actually spent significant portions of our time visiting with 3 other families. We aren’t by nature real outgoing, so I think that was good for us. We met up with some casual acquaintances who just…

Year in Review 2004
I don’t often take the time to do the quizzes that go around, but I do want to write my “year in review” today for my scrapbook, so I thought this might be a good place to start. I’ve seen this on several other sites… (It’s kinda long so I’m going to cut some of the questions I don’t have…

Rocky Mountain National Park
Our vacation in 2004 took us to the Colorado Rockies. We had a pop-up camper that year. We spent a night or two at a campground near Estes Park. We planned our route to take us through Rocky Mountain National Park. The highway was long and twisty with slow speed limits but the views were spectacular. We also enjoyed several…

Mullan Tree Geocache
This was our very first find!!! I heard about Geocaching several months ago, but didn’t think there were any in our area. Someone mentioned it again yesterday, and I checked out the website again just out of curiosity. I discovered that there are indeed several in our area! We don’t have a GPS, but we love to go for drives…

Road Trips on a Budget
We love to travel! Many of our favorite memories both before and after kids involve road trips. Obviously, traveling can be quite spendy… but we are learning to economize in this area, too. I’d rather be frugal on trips, and get to go more often, than make one big splurge and then have to stay home for a long time…
