Back in the U.S.A!! After another long day of driving, we finally made it to Montana. We got up early and got on the road. The conditions from Edmonton to Calgary were crappy. When it wasn't snowing, it was raining!!! We stopped right before the border and I got my blizzard from Dairy Queen!!! I had a Smarties Blizzard just for Niki :) For those that don't know, Smarties are like m&m's, only better! I have to say, it was yummy goodness!!! We make our way to the border and they were really busy. After waiting forever we pull up and [View Full Entry]

Bear sighting and more!!! We are in Edmonton! It has been a long day. We weren't even on the road an hour this morning and we saw a black bear on the side of the road! No kidding!!! We turned around to take a picture and he ran into the woods. He was a good size bear! Jamie was disapointed that he couldn't put an arrow in him but whatever!!! I only took a couple of pictures today because there wasn't really anything exciting to see. As far as scenery goes, it was beautiful, but boring!!!! We also saw a Moose [View Full Entry]

Destination Ft. Nelson... Success!!!! We made it to Ft. Nelson!!! Today was a much better day than yesterday!! We got on the road after getting breakfast at Tim Hortons. The weather was mostly rain in the morning. It was sunny off and on, but for the most part when it wasn't raining, it was snowing! We saw a lot of beautiful country today. It was more scenic than yesterday for sure!!! As you can see from the pictures, the kids have been doing a lot of sleeping when they aren't arguing and fighting with each other! Jamie and I have decided [View Full Entry]

Day 1, Destination: Whitehorse.... Success!!!! So today is the big day! We wake up at 6:00 and get ready to hit the road. Our goal was to get on the road before 8:00 a.m. It was hectic, but we got the kids up and ready, the dogs went and did their business and we left the hotel just a little after 8:00. We stop at the gas station and fill up the gas cans and head for the weigh station. For those of you who don't know, we have to drug our dog Reggie because when he gets in the car [View Full Entry]

Day 2, Destination: Fort Nelson We are up at 5:30 a.m. I don't think we did a good job at making this reservation for our Hotel. I have heard that Whitehorse is a nice town, but I believe we are staying in the ghetto part of Whitehorse! As I said lastnight, I believe our room we are staying in was previously occupied by the dogpound and the kids said there are also ants in our room. We are all in one room with 2 double beds. So that means one of the kids slept in the floor (Chelsey was the chosen [View Full Entry]
