traveled

Hello One and All:

I have been trying for a few weeks now to sit down and tell you all about our trip through Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington all in two weeks.  Perhaps today will be the day that I actually start to fill you all in on the details!   

The journey started here:

 Monday, September 17^th

We packed up our rented class C RV and made a mad dash to Yellowstone Park.  The Daddy-O or I had never been there so we figured since we were already going that far north we should stop there first.  We arrived there on Wednesday.

While in route there we made a few stops…

Utah
To enjoy the changing of the season

 

Afton, Wyoming
To have some lunch

 

Jackson, Wyoming
To say “I’ve (finally) been to Jackson, Wyoming."

This three day drive was long and exhausting.  I had no idea it was going to be this exhausting either.  I just looked at the RV as a home with wheels…”what could be so exhausting?”  Every night as soon as the engine turned off I was passed out.  I think the poor Daddy-O was hoping to have some more available alone time with me but not once during this trip did we share a bed.

We arrived in Yellowstone Wednesday night.  Right across from our camp site someone had built this cool fort out of the fallen trees. 

 

Of course our two wasted no time discovering the in's and out's and adding their own piece to the fort puzzle.  

Yellowstone in all was a pretty cool place.  I am glad we made the decision to go there.  It was nice being in the RV because we could eat when we wanted to and we also could go potty as needed.  I think taking two small children in an car without the easy access of a potty would have been trying.  At the same time though I feel the RV might have been a tad limiting because of the size of it. 

For me personally the coolest spot in Yellowstone was Mammoth Hot Springs because of this....

 Oh, and this guy...

 

The most amazing spot for me was what is called the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone....

 

 

 

 

My most memorable moment would be the "hike" Bug and I took around one of the sulphur hot springs.

We only allowed ourselves one full day to travel through Yellowstone.  We know we missed a bunch but at this time in our lives I think we are happy with what we saw.

Phew...I finally have the first post done about or trip.  I hope I can post more soon before too much more time passes.  I am excited to share with you our time in Grangeville, Id.  Hopefully, one day that will be our new home.
