Another Fun Weekend
This past weekend we drove over to Bozeman, Montana to hang out with King Tut! The Museum of the Rockies is currently hosting the traveling King Tut exhibit. We had noticed billboards about it coming back from vacation a couple of weeks ago, so decided to make a weekend excursion to visit the museum. Lyle also wanted to visit the American…

Iowa and Missouri
Another easy day. Hot and muggy in the mid-west! Probably not as hot as it could be, the humidity about knocks us over, coming from the drier northwest. We stayed at a state park near Columbia, Missouri. Arrived in the middle of the day, so had time to relax a bit in the air-conditioned trailer before Lyle and the kids went…

Minnesota
An easy day on the road. And state #37 for me (not on this trip… in my lifetime!). We deliberately chose this route to add a couple of new states to the map on the side of our trailer. Walnut Grove did offer a more reasonably priced tour of their Laura Ingalls Wilder museum than did De Smet. Of course, none…

South Dakota
From Jamestown, North Dakota we headed south to South Dakota on a two-lane highway. This is the first time we’ve traveled off the interstate since we left home. We like getting off the beaten path, so that was an enjoyable drive. As we came in Aberdeen, South Dakota I noticed a billboard advertising Storybook Land. The billboard said it was…

Montana and North Dakota
We got an early start on vacation by leaving on Friday evening after Lyle got off work. Since we are traveling with the trailer we knew we could stop to sleep at a rest area just whenever we got tired, so we drove about 4.5 hours that night. Good thing we did. We hadn’t gone very far yesterday morning before the…

Vacation Plans
So… if you work twice as hard before you go, and twice as hard when you get back… does it really count as a vacation?? We will be leaving this coming Saturday for our trip to my family reunion in Missouri. I’m on the reunion planning committee so in addition to getting my family ready to go, I’ve been busy…

Stowaway!
We had a surprise passenger on our trip to Yakima on Friday. We stopped at a rest area about an hour down the road, and I went back to the travel-trailer to get something. When I opened the door Tabitha Cat jumped out! Now, our dog loves to travel and is often invited along on trips, as she was this…

Trip to Canada
The trip to Canada over the weekend was a lot of fun. Even though we aren’t all that far from the border, we don’t go up there very often, so we feel like quite the “international travelers” when we do! My husband and I have been across the border into Mexico once, and to Canada no more than a half…

RVin’
We bought a travel trailer last year, and we are enjoying it so much as we travel on weekends to homeschool conventions. My husband and I think we would love to live on the road, at least for awhile. But that doesn’t seem to be a practical scenario with my husband’s job, so we are glad to have the opportunity…

Highway 1
On Day 5 of our roadtrip we drove up the central coast of California on Highway 1. It was pretty foggy – not ground fog to make road visibility bad – but enough to make it hard to see the ocean. I guess that’s typical for mornings this time of year. The fog finally burned off about noon and we…
