Home Sweet Home

Quote of the Day

Peanut, "Wow, mom, now we can say we've been to all 50 states! What are we gonna do next?"

Wyoming - State #26






Driving across Wyoming has been my sleepiest drive yet. Supposedly the color blue makes one restful, but I think it's really golden hues that bring sleep on. We've experienced "golden" in every possible shade, under every possible sky on this stretch!

Finally we hit Bighorn National Forest and the kids learned how to

recognize switchback road signs. This was like an alarm clock for me. Peanut was shocked by the canyon. I think she thought we only had red dirt in the Southwest and here we have red, black and golden. We can't decide which one to choose!

Nothing has thrilled any of us more than spying our first moose! It's the only animal we missed seeing in Alaska, and here they were just lounging in the Wyoming sunlight. What luck!

We've stopped for the night in Cody, WY before heading into Yellowstone. This seems to be the culmination of everyone else's road trips. Nowhere else have we met more people traveling thousands of miles on journeys like ours. Yellowstone is the chosen destination apparently.

And you can see Grandma has been up to her old tricks again!
