Day 10 West at last

We had a big push day and made it to Edmonds. I have run out of internet connection/data so I will post details and pictures in a couple days when we have wi-if in the new house. Cheers!

Day 9 On the road West… 2021 Yellowstone

No alarms set this morning. Let everyone sleep until they awoke for the first time this trip, a nice change of pace. Everyone ready to go with a sack breakfast in our tummies heading into the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park at 9:15. The plan was to head down to Old Faithful and then …

Day 8 on the road West… 2021

Sleep came in fits and spurts with Reuben needing lots of cuddles. Morning was a welcome sight as the sky began to lighten. Showered and refreshed we got a decent breakfast to bring back up to the room. The kids were bouncing off the walls and playing lots of games. Good until someone gets hurt. …

Day 7 On the road West… 2021

Today was overall a day full of accomplishments but also filled with what felt like a comedy of errors, the last error being anything but funny. Apologies, I am getting ahead of myself. We said goodbye to the ranch this morning... twice. First we took off at 6:30am, quite a feat I might add, and …

Day 5 Split Day

So today was a different day. Up early to drive Jeff down to the Denver airport leaving the three kids and Wickham with Grandma and Grandpa. Then, pick up my mom (Nana) who will make the rest of the cross country trip with us. The round trip was about six hours with a stop for …

Day 4 Mill Iron D Ranch

Rocks! Waking up at the farm to a beautiful sun rise and only the sound of birds was amazing. Well, the sounds of the kids and dogs and cows mixed in quite quickly as everyone got up and going. Rock hounding, four-wheeling, cows and calfs, horses, grandma snuggles, mule deer, wild turkeys in trees, toggie …

Day 3 on the road West… 2021

Good nights sleep, up, showered, dressed and on the road at 6:30am with sack breakfasts packed by the hotel. Woo Hoo! A long, flat, straight drive across the entirety of Nebraska today to end up just over the border in Wyoming outside of Torrington. Up with the sun. The Arch Museum (goes over I-80) was …
