LETS GO

DAY 16 - Tuesday, July 12, 2016 Spearfish, SD to Devils Tower - Wyoming to Buffalo, WY Just winging it. Before ever leaving Spokane, Geoff and I mapped out as many details about our trip as we could. But ever since Day 12 - when Spirit needed repairs - we’ve been “going with the flow” a bit as we head back west. It’s a good feeling to wake up and talk with God, “Okay, Boss, what do You have for us today?” Every day should have that simple focus - whether we’re on vacation or at home doing our “normal” daily jobs. This morning was relaxing and we scheduled horse rides in the afternoon somewhere around Devils Tower near Sundance, WY. It was an easy drive - distance wise - but boy can that wind blow! ... read more

DAY 14 - Sunday, July 10, 2016 Wayne, Nebraska to Oacoma, SD - Missouri River to Wall, SD to Keystone, SD - Mt. Rushmore National Monument to Willow Creek Black Hills National Forest Campground Who knew Wayne, Nebraska would be such a rockin’ town all night long? They are serious about their Chicken Show weekend! Geoff drove us back toward the east entrance of town and we slept away from all the celebration noise. In the morning we said goodbye to our Glass family relatives - Thanks again for the showers! :) It was a real treat to meet more relatives - thank you, Lord! We grocery shopped at the local Pac ’N Save and hit our first of several highways to weave our way northwest back to Interstate-90. Very pretty countrysides but it was a ... read more

DAY 12 - Friday, July 8, 2016 Covington, KY to to Cincinnati, Oh to Indianapolis, IN to Hampton, IL (near Rock Island) We maximized our hotel stay until they kicked us out at noon. Back in Spirit and back on the road. Crossing the Ohio River into Cincinnati the entire sky turned dark - heavy rains and lightning started - it was kind of eerie. Because of bad weather and heavy traffic we missed our exit onto Highway 74 West so we made a detour around and eventually headed west toward Indianapolis. At some point we gained an hour - back to Central Time Zone (Thanks, Brenda Fletcher!) :) and back to corn fields - this time they were both on the righthand side and the lefthand side! Getting crazy! So in one day we were ... read more

DAY 10 - Wednesday, July 6, 2016 Williamstown, KY to Florence, KY to Indian Springs Stateline Campground Our son, Malachi’s, 15th birthday is today!! Happy birthday, Mijo!!! And we’re halfway through our three week trip today. Kai woke up to birthday kisses, tickles, and songs. Thank you, God, for our adventuresome, energetic, wonderful son! He got some birthday cash after breakfast to “Give, Save, Spend” (thank you, Dave Ramsey!) and a t-shirt from his brother. And some hugs and practical jokes from his sisters. Another early morning - off we go on our way to tour the inside of Ark Encounter. So exciting!! Even though we left earlier this morning than yesterday for our private showing there were still plenty of people waiting for the shuttle buses ahead of us. Yesterday’s ceremony was purposefully on July ... read more

DAY 8 - July 4, 2016 Hebron, KY - Answers In Genesis CREATION MUSEUM!!! Prepare to Believe! www.creationmuseum.org 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” You know you’ve made the right vacation choice when your sixteen year old tells you, “It’s nice to be at a museum where you can believe everything they're teaching.” Our whole family was in awe today of the wonderful, solid teaching from God’s Word - from the beginning in the book of Genesis. God made all land animals on Day 6 of Creation - all land animals includes dinosaurs. What we’ve been taught in public schools is just opinion and theory about the earth possibly being ... read more
