Party of 6

Adventuring and traveling with a family of 6

  • Stop 12: Iowa

    Instead of a magnet we picked up a baseball. Iowa provided some pretty cool stops along the way through. First, a practical lesson opportunity was provided. The kiddos got to learn how to change a tire on the trailer. Luckily there was a place to replace the tire closeish. How can you not stop at…

  • Stop 11: Mt. Rushmore

    We made it to the faces. Although it may seem like you are only visiting a mountain with faces, the scale of skill and the amount of time it took is something to appreciate. We learned a lot from this stop. Of course, wildlife on the way. We stopped for lunch and a visit to…

  • Stop 10: Cody, Wyoming

    This town was one of the coolest towns. Cody, Wyoming was named after Buffalo Bill and had a lot of history to offer. We stayed in teepee for the night. So cool! We then went back and forth to this museum all day. It was 5 museums in one building. The first section we went…

  • Stop 9: Yellowstone National Park

    Yellowstone National Park had a plethora of animals to see and several Wow! moments along the way. This park is also massive. It can take hours to get through. Our campsite. The first stop of course was Old Faithful. A few photos from our way back to our campsite for the evening. We took a…

  • Stop 8: Grand Teton National Park

    Wow! This National Park is breathtaking. The size of the mountains around you are hard to even describe. This park was actually not on our list of places to stop originally, but so glad we did. But first, ice cream. How could you not stop at an ice-cream shop that is home to the “Big…

  • Stop 7: Dinosaur National Monument, UT

    Our dinosaur, paleontology, archeology, geology loving kids were very excited to check out the Dinosaur National Monument. Our campsite for this trip. Our view from the campground. Views from the park. We then headed to bed to prepare for dinosaur bone hunting. Our chipmunk friend in the morning at the campsite. The visitor center at…

  • Stop 6: Zion National Park

    Wow! This park was stunning and we defiantly did not scratch surface with all this park has to offer, but we accomplished our goal of hiking the Narrows. More to come, but first setting up camp. This time we were greeted with deer as we entered the park. Setting up camp. This camp was a…

  • Stop 5: Grand Canyon National Park

    So if I am being honest, I always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, but just thought it would be a neat hole in the ground. The magnitude of the Grand Canyon is indescribable and pictures do not do it justice, but I will do my best. First of all, when we checked in, we…

  • Stop 4: Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, NM

    We put in some miles on our feet this trip. But first we stopped by to see family in Amarillo, TX. May I just say, if you ever find yourself in Amarillo, TX, run don’t walk to SheShe Cakes. Absolute amazing bite-sized (and full sized cheesecakes if you choose). They were gone before we ever…

  • Day 3: Caprock Canyons

    To say this place was awesome, is an understatement. Beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife. Picture overload coming. Now the heat was no joke and it did take us a little longer to set up camp, as the kiddos were a bit sluggish. Nonetheless, it did get set up. Dinner consisted of mashed potatoes, corn, baked…
