Day 14 We stayed awhile at camp this morning cleaning out the camper, car, and doing laundry. The kids also were able to Facetime with their Yaya and some friends. We left shortly after 11 and grabbed lunch at Taco Johns. Although delicious, the food took way too long to arrive so we wasted someContinue Reading Day 14 Wyoming 2/8
Day 12 was a FULL day. Griff was a trooper in the car and we got to see so much. We were up and out of the hotel by 7:15 and headed back to the Badlands early before it heated up for the day. It was beautiful in the early morning. We took the trailerContinue Reading Day 12 South Dakota 3/3
Day 11 was HOT. Let’s just start there. We were out early and headed to Murdo South Dakota and the 1880 town. We ate lunch in an old train and visited the town as it was over a hundred years ago! The only complaint was that it was hot. 99 degrees is just too hotContinue Reading Day 11 Badlands, South Dakota 2/3
Day 10 we spent mostly in the car. We drove to Sioux Falls, had lunch at the park, and walked around. We visited a tiny aquarium and butterfly house, found a Starbucks (yay), then headed over to the Mitchell KOA in Mitchell South Dakota. Quick set up, a hop in the pool then pasta withContinue Reading Day 10 South Dakota, 1/3
We opted for a late checkout at Great Wolf and were able to spend the morning playing in the park. We packed up around one and grabbed Jimmy John’s for lunch. We went in search of a cheese shop, because when in Rome… I mean, Wisconsin. Then it was off to Minnesota! Crossing overContinue Reading Day 9 Some extra fun and Minnesota
The terrain is changing again. Where just yesterday we drove through endless flat cornfields, today we see hills and much more greenery. More “rolling plains” if you will. The Dells are quite neat. Also – this area has the largest concentration of Water Parks in the country. Who knew!? And also why? It seems likeContinue Reading Day 8 Wisconsin Dells
Day 7 was a slow and lazy day, but just what the kids needed. We got out of dodge around 9 and headed to the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, IL. It was a small zoo and we walked around for about an hour. Then we hit Steak & Shake (whoa) on the way toContinue Reading Day 7 Illinois
Today we had a late start due to our late night (re: #jellystonerave). But we got to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis shortly after 11. Quick PB&J lunch and into the Worlds Largest Children’s Museum. We did not plan enough time. This museum had so many amazing exhibits we spent ALL DAY here. To start,Continue Reading Day 6 Children’s Museum of Indianapolis
Day 5 was pretty cool. We visited the National Air Force Museum at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Tucker was in awe of all the airplanes, helicopters, ammunition, and even NASA Aircraft. The place was expansive. Four aircraft hangers full of hundreds and hundreds of aircraft. I’m pretty sure Tucker’s mouth was open in aweContinue Reading Day 5 – National Museum of the US Air Force, OHIO
Up and out again by 9am, mostly because we heard thunder approaching and packed up quickly! Fortunately- with the playground so close, the kids played while we prepped to leave. We headed out of PA through some wet weather and straight to Downtown Cleveland where we visited the Great Lakes Science Center. This museum wasContinue Reading Day 4 Great Lakes Science Center – OHIO
