Let’s just say that blogging from the road in the last week or so has been a challenge. Besides the previously mentioned computer issues (toddlers and laptops are a bad combination), we have been on the go in a way that has just not allowed for finding internet or even writing. Let me see if I can paint the picture for you.

Woke up in Wyoming

Going to sleep in Park City, Utah (in a house!) at a friend of my parents.

Get out a map and look.  It’s insane.  I’m not even going to try to describe all we have seen. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. When we crossed the border from Alberta into Montana, Daddy said, Well, we just finished our long detour on the road home, was it worth it? We all said that Yes, it was worth it. It was not without incident, but it was definitely worth it. Amazing scenery and loads of animal sightings vs. lots of hours in the van and Transition Day every day. I’d have to say that it was Lake Louise that tipped the scales in favor of the grand detour.
