In early October, Brennah and I came across some cheap flights to Chicago (like, <$100 roundtrip per person!) so we asked my mom if wanted to do a girls’ weekend in the Windy City. She was up for the adventure, so we booked flights, and took off the weekend before Halloween. It was a fun… Continue reading Chicago, October 2017
Getting everyone to Oregon on day 22 was no small task. My parents and brother and his family were all en route from central California. Our oldest four kids drove from SoCal to central California, where they picked Brian and Pierce up, who flew down from Boise that morning to help the big kids make… Continue reading Day 22 – Oregon Bound!
We spent our four full days in Idaho enjoying time with family rather than being tourists. Here are a couple highlights of our time!
On the third Sunday of our trip, we packed up the car once more and headed into Yellowstone. We essentially just drove through it, but if you read my last post, you know that took F-O-R-E-V-E-R. We were thrilled to leave the park and head south into Grand Teton National Park. It was beautiful! We… Continue reading Day 17 – Yellowstone, Teton, Jackson Hole —> Idaho (Boring drive alert)
We loved staying at Rand Creek Ranch – it was a great location to head east into Cody or west into Yellowstone, and we did a lot of both while there! On Thursday night, we decided to go to the Cody Rodeo, which runs nightly through the summer. Before the rodeo we had a fun… Continue reading Days 14-16 Cody & Yellowstone
On day 13, we woke up in Sheridan, and started making our way to Cody, Wyoming, where we had a cabin reserved for the next 4 nights! The drive was beautiful through the Bighorn Mountain range. We cannot say enough about Rand Creek Ranch. It is located about 25-30 miles from the east… Continue reading Day 13 – Sheridan, WY to Cody, WY
On Tuesday, we were ready to leave Rapid City! It is a beautiful area, and I highly recommend visiting. There is definitely a slower pace to life there than what we are accustomed to. Tuesday afternoon on day 12, we started our journey to Wyoming and eventually Yellowstone. Our goal for this day was to… Continue reading Day 12 – Devil’s Tower and Sheridan, WY
On Monday, Pierce was not feeling well and I had a full day of work to put in, so I left Brian and the kids at the hotel and I telecommuted from a beautiful park and a Starbucks in Rapid City. Once I was done with work, Pierce seemed up for an adventure so we… Continue reading Day 11 – Rapid City and Badlands National Park – Fergie Summer Adventure 2017
On Sunday, we woke up in Rapid City with a fun day planned. When researching things to do in Rapid City, we realized ahead of time that there was going to be a big Christian Music Festival in town called Hills Alive, so we started and ended our Sunday there. It was great! In between… Continue reading Rapid City and Mount Rushmore – Fergie 2017 Summer Adventure, Day 10
