2018 Road Trip – Day 9
Saturday, August 11 Going to Glacier National Park! The drive from Great Falls up to Glacier was really smoky. As we got closer to Glacier, the mountains seemed to all of a sudden appear. If there hadn’t been so much smoke I’d have said they were majestic. We drove into the park to the Visitors’ …

2018 Road Trip – Day 2
Saturday, August 4 We “planned” this trip with no plan except to be in Laramie for Miss B’s first day of Kindergarten. So we got up and had to make a decision of which direction to go. We decided to go north in Missouri into Iowa. Summer must be a busy time for road repair. …
