Saturday, 10:55 p.m., Millie pulled into our driveway (or actually, Mark backed her in). We are indeed home and looking forward to sleeping in our own beds tonight. Actually, the kids are already in bed and we've already poured the wine (into real crystal glasses) so I thought I'd do a next-to-last entry in the travel blog with the hopes one of the boys will wrap things up tomorrow. Nothing like finishing the trip with a splash and a little rock and roll. The surprise stop to Cedar Point, where my sister and her family, inlaws and a bunch of [View Full Entry]

When the horse sees his stable, it's hard to stop him from galloping home. Mark and Millie are a bit like that now. We've traveled through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and have stopped for the night in Elkhart, Indiana -- about 20 miles east of South Bend. From here, its about 11-12 hours to York. It was tough but Mark agreed to stop in Wisconsin for cheese at Elliot's request. We had a nice little happy hour (sans drinks) of cheddar, brick and onion cheese driving through Madison. Despite traffic, we also enjoyed the Chicago skyline with Mark wishing he had time [View Full Entry]

Yesterday we were able to drive by Mt. Rushmore and stop and take pictures but because we weren't willing to park 3 miles away and hoof it up the highway, we decided not to go into the park with the other 20-30,000 people visiting for the holiday. We got lucky today. Elliot suggested we drive by for another look and since it was early morning (my early morning being 9:30) the park wasn't crowded. We not only easily and quickly got into the park, but Millie (just by pure luck based on other RVs which arrived before us) was parked [View Full Entry]

We haven't crossed the finish line yet, because we aren't home. But we have visited every destination on our itinerary with the exception of Zion which we traded for a couple of extra days in Sedona. Gladly. It's been almost three weeks. Elbow to Elbow. We haven't killed the kids or each other and they haven't run away with the circus. In fact, tonight, we're sitting about five miles from Mt Rushmore having seen both the national monument and the Crazy Horse Monument earlier this afternoon/evening. Early today, we did the Deadwood Museum and a Gold Mine, where the kids [View Full Entry]

Untitled To get from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, Wyoming (and then to where we are now -- South Dakota's Black Hills -- you have to travel over Big Horn Mountain and climb to 9,966 feet through Powder River Pass. While it is only about 70 miles, it took us nearly 2 hours with Millie traveling winding uphill mountain roads for half of that time. Alot of anxiety on our part for Millie, especially when we needed to stop half-way up the mountain because of some new, nasty sounds coming from her. After a rest, though, she did fine and we [View Full Entry]

Elliot's Corner: Well the title pretty much explains itself. We're still having fun. Today we went on a white water rafting trip. First time for all of us. It was soooo fun. We got soaked. Our guide's name was Carl. When we went through Yellowstone today and yesterday and saw: a ton of elk, a couple bison, a couple mule deer, a bald eagle and nest, an osprey and nest, and a coyote. We also went to a local rescue zoo with bears and wolves and did this program where we got to hide food for the bears. The bears [View Full Entry]

Traveling through 4 states (Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming) went well for Millie, who is now having a couple of day's break in a nice campground in West Yellowstone, less than a mile from the park's West entrance. We spent a good bit of time in the park today and were thrilled to see a herd of Elk within 10 minutes of entering. The boys have also pointed out bison, mule deer, prairie dogs and either a bald or golden eagle's nest with the hopes of seeing a bear and moose during the trip. The geysers, hot springs and mud [View Full Entry]
