Day 7 Our teepee provided a good night’s sleep after the long drive. We had breakfast at the outdoor open tent restaurant which was delicious. Our original plan was to spend the day in Salt Lake at the Olympic park, but with COVID interfering we needed a new plan. We were able to find an …

Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons
Day 5 Our rental on Belgrade, MT was a cute above garage apartment. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the view while planning our route through Yellowstone. Seth’s favorite part was the bunkbeds. Our 1+ hour drive to the north entrance didnt disappoint, and we saw several heards of Elk along the road. …
Glacier National Park
Day 3 Our first activity out of the gate was a 1/2 day whitewater rafting trip on the Flathead River for Bruce, Seth, and me. It was Seth’s first time, and he said he didn’t want to paddle… That lasted about 2 minutes and then he slid into a rowing position. We hit some level …
Western Natl Parks Roadtrip
Day 1 and 2 We hopped on our flight and headed to Salt Lake City, masks and all. Thanks to Southwest for helping with social distancing by eliminating the middle seat passenger. We got picked up by our Lyft driver to take us to the car rental location. He was definitely not the chatty type …

My First Blog Post
Day 1 & 2 (Road Delays) We started out an hour later than planned because of the 270 at 70 highway shut down on Sunday morning. After rerouting, we turned on our audio book and got moving…for a short time anyway. Heading east on I-70 this week means lots of construction, and we found a …
Day 3 – Hershey
We had Chocolate World on our agenda, but had no idea how big the Hershey park is. It’s like a little Disney world. We bought our tickets for our activities. First up was the free tour. You start out walking through this long line with pictures and history blurbs along the way. I was thinking …
