I just realized this entry never posted! It’s been in draft mode since August. Blog fail! Let’s try this again… Back in August, I had to make a quick trip to Concord, NH for a work trip. For once my husband’s work schedule allowed for him to join me! With …
If you ever find yourself near Jackson, TN and have a few hours to kill, you have got to check out the Tennessee Safari Park. We have seen signs for it on the side of the road for years and never had time to stop. However, this time, we made …
After a short 10 hours at home following my weekend trip to Rome, GA with the kids, I was at the airport heading to Portland, OR. To say I was a little tired was an understatement. Sitting in the blazing sun at a tennis tournament all weekend will seriously drain …
So you’ve heard of soccer moms and baseball moms, right? Well, I’m a tennis mom. My 10 year old son lives and breathes tennis. We are constantly driving to tennis matches all over town, but every now and then, we get invited to tournaments that require a road trip. Today …

Day seven was very patriotic. I can’t think of a better place to spend the 4th of July than in Medora, ND! We started the day by visiting the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP). There we took a 36 mile long drive through the Badlands and not only saw more …
Day six was a very educational day. We started the day at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument just south of Billings, Montana. We had originally planned to spend about half an hour at the park because I didn’t think the kids would find it as interesting as I did. …
Day five was another amazing travel day! We said goodbye to Jackson Hole, WY and started our journey to Billings, MT. Our journey took us back through Yellowstone as it was actually the fastest route to Montana. Instead of taking the west part of the loop toward Old Faithful like …
