I was a big fan of the Twilight books when they came out–don’t judge me ;o) So, Forks, WA was on my bucket list. I wanted to go to the Twilight Museum, but Forks is a tiny town, and the museum was also tiny. They limited how many could go […]

May 29-31: Yellowstone National Park…on Memorial Day Weekend…oops.
Now we get to what would become the highlight of our trip. We all have our individual favorite parts, but I believe that we are unanimous in our love and utter awe of Yellowstone. It was definitely on our bucket list, but I always thought of it simply as “the […]
May 26-28 Jackson Hole, Grand Teton NP
After Mount Rushmore we were back on the road to travel to Wyoming. Here is a glimpse of our beautiful drive along the way… Grand Teton NP is very close to Yellowstone, and we couldn’t spend a significant amount of time at both, so we just breezed through Grand Teton. […]
May 24-26 Wall Drug, Badlands NP, Mammoth Site, Crazy Horse & Mt. Rushmore
As we drove back south toward Badlands National Park in South Dakota, we kept seeing signs for a place called “Wall Drug.” Billboard after billboard about it. It put Buc-ee’s signage to shame!

May 21-22: DeSmet, SD–A Night on the Prairie with Laura Ingalls Wilder!!
The Laura Ingalls Wilder sites were definitely tops on my bucket list, but we were limited on time, and they were so spread out! (Pa & Ma Ingalls, you were rock stars!) Because of this, we only planned to breeze by DeSmet before moving on. However, the Ingalls Homestead was […]
May 16-20 Stuart & Esther (Missouri)
We were excited to get to visit one of Richard’s long-time friends in Missouri. Richard went to boarding school with Stuart, and he is involved in a ministry called International House of Prayer; members of this ministry have been continuously worshiping and praying to God 24/7 since September 19, 1999! […]
May 14-15: Rochester, MN/Walnut Grove, MN
