We awoke this morning in West Yellowstone, Montana at the local KOA camp ground after a descent's night sleep. We knew we had a very long drive ahead of us so we got off to a pretty early start (around 8:30). Emily, Kayla and I grab our little shower buckets and head off to the showers while Tim decides he's going to try out the shower in the motor home today. You know that the girls always take way longer than me, so I'm finishing up my shower and getting ready to step out of the shower into the attached dressing [View Full Entry]

Well, it's been a week now and I can't believe how incredible this trip has been so far. We have already seen and done so much stuff that I can't even fathom what's to come. I got up early this morning and the first thing I did after I got ready was step out the door and into Wal-Mart to shop for some warm clothes. Tim didn't pack a single long sleeve shirt and you know good and well he didn't have a jacket with him. I already had to buy a hideous orange hoodie at the KOA in Mt. [View Full Entry]

I want to start by saying that the phone and internet service in these hills up here is terrible so you'll have to bare with me on the blogs. It takes me about 2 hours just to do one blog because I get kicked off about every 10 minutes or so. Also, Jason (the son) told me yesterday how to re-size my pictures so that it won't take me 30 minutes to download 2 pictures so you should be seeing more pictures soon. Thanks Jason !! I'll do my best to keep ya'll updated. Our sixth day of travels brought us [View Full Entry]

Last night was a first for us, it was our very first night spent at a camp ground! I think we all went into mini comas when our heads hit the pillows because the next day nobody could remember falling asleep. We've been going non-stop since we left Stockbridge and it was nice to settle in somewhere and get some good sleep. We got up bright and early and headed for the "community showers". This was a new experience for us and I wasn't sure how it would go. We get to the building and the shower stalls are not divided [View Full Entry]

Eight years ago I would have never thought that I would spend my 8th Wedding Anniversary on top of a huge rock formation in Badlands National Park, South Dakota !! The whole day was one to be remembered. We started off with our traditional bath at the local Flying J Truck Stop and then we were off to feed these cute furry creatures at Prairie Dog Town. On the way to see the prairie dogs we stopped off at a hole-in-the wall restaurant called The Haven Inn Cafe for food. The girls and I went in to get a table while [View Full Entry]

Today started off as your typical vacation day. We woke up around 8:30 and headed towards the nearest "Truck Stop" for our daily cleansings. The girls seemed to handle it much better today, after all, they had about 24 hours for the shock to wear off !! They were very excited to find out that they actually got to sleep in a state rest area last night instead of the Wal-Mart parking lot. We left the showers and proceeded to the closest Wal-Mart to stock up on several things that were still needed. I am happy to say that we are [View Full Entry]

Let's just say that this morning didn't start off like I had planned. I decided to get up at 8:00 a.m., get my shower, get ready and cook breakfast for everyone. My famous bacon, egg and cheese McMuffins. The McMuffins never saw the light of day today but we did have some awesome tomato sandwiches for lunch! Between the two salesmen, one sales manager and my husband, no one thought it necessary to tell me that you have to cut on the hot water heater about 30 minutes prior to taking a shower. Yes, you guessed it, I took an ice [View Full Entry]

Let's see where to begin.......... Day 1 consisted of trying to get out of Georgia. We finished loading the motor home around 12:00 and finally pulled out of the driveway around 12:30. We headed to Hampton to pick up a portable internet thingy from Anthony so we would be able to get service all over the US. (Thanks Anthony !) We made it to Anthony and Sheryl's house and I realized that I forgot to buy a broom, so Sheryl. being the angel she is, went inside and brought me her broom to take with me. (Thanks Sheryl ! ) All [View Full Entry]
