Hey we made it to Jackson Hole yesterday but I was to tired to enter a blog. When we got here there was a stressful moment when we found out we did not have a room and we had to call about 10 motels to find one. The first we found was 350 a night then we found a recently canceled room for much less and booked it on the phone with a Credit card.. so with sleeping in the camper top overted we checked in, breathed a sigh of relief, and headed to Bubba's BBQ for some awsome ribs and chicken... Our trip up was beautiful and we saw a bald eagle. He was to far away for a pic. We are excited to go up to Jenny lake today and possibly to Yellowstone. ... read more

Day 1- 3 tyler Today we drove to Williams AZ. We spent the night at the Hilton in Santa Fe last night. Note to self Hilton's don't have free internet.. We went to the Georgia O'keefe Museum and I walked around in awe... the guards were a pain though Ethan bumped into the wall and the guy said Sr. please don't touch the wall.

Firstday a long drive North America » United States » Texas » Dallas By jtyler July 3rd 2007 tylerWe had a long day of driving today. We stopped and saw the Uss Alabama and stretched our legs. After that we turned towards Jackson Miss. Then at Jackson we hit I20 and kept on rolling. We had planned to stay in Tyler TX but when we got there we decided to brave Dallas at a slow time which was a good Idea. Now it is 11:00 pm and we are all tired and waiting on Pizza and wings. Planning to sleep in a bit in the morning. I'll keep you posted. Jeanie... read more

Dale and I, along with help from Dad put the camper top on the truck. our stuff should be safe and dry. Tomorrow we will go to church and finish packing and then leave Monday morning... I am getting so excited and a little worried about the floods in Texas. Maybe that rain will move over here and help us out we could sure use some rain here. But anyway, I can't wait to be off on this western adventure. ... read more
