Yes we where gone for a short trip up to be with my family in Saskatchewan! We were gone all of 10 days which included 5 days of driving...
A couple days before we left my little - but - not - so - little bro J flew down here! We went to the Science Center one day, did some back to school shopping for him and I put him to work some around here! Sorry J... At least you got to go swimming in between!=) Then he drove up to SK with us!
The day we left we stopped in Ouray, CO to see some friends. (And we never mind having a good excuse to go to Ouray! I think it is probably our favorite vacation spot!!) We spent the night at their large, beautiful home which is nestled among the pines with a mountain soaring up in front of and behind them! JA popped his famous popcorn and as we sat around and ate it JA & VA enthusiastically showed us a documentary on Ouray! In the morning they made us a large fabulous breakfast and then after doing some driving around with them we got on our way! Next destination was Billings, MT for the night.
We drove a about a 12 hr day that day getting to MT for night. The next day we entered SK around mid afternoon! We made a bee line for Tim Horton's ~ taking doughnuts to go to tide us thru our hungry spells... We made it to my folk's shortly before 8:00 pm!! We got there a bit sooner then we/they thot we would so they were kind of surprised to hear us drive up! =)
We spent a wonderful 5 days cooking, baking, talking, laughing, shopping, eating out, walking, sitting around the fire in the evening, doing a cleaning job together, taking the boys K babysat to the local Petting Zoo etc, etc! There was often something going on but was really relaxing!! Even had a couple days with just mom an me at home! =)
Saturday morning we headed out around 6:00 am... Made our last stop at Tim Horton's in Wainwright for breakfast! Had a bit of delay at the border due to my Green Card being expired... (I had my travel doc along so everything was fine but it just takes a bit longer to sort things out... My new Gr. Card should be on the way tho ... Hopefully!) We made it to Pocatello, ID for night after another long day of about 13 or 14 hrs...
Sunday morning after a quick continental breakfast we started on the last leg of our journey! Since we were going thru Salt Lake City we took the time to drive past the Mormon Temple & Tabernacle. Hubby and one of his friends had toured the tabernacle once and I wanted to see what it looked like! We also drove the Las Vegas strip... We didn't mind leaving that town behind!! We arrived home around 8:30 pm!
Now it is home and back to work! We had a great time tho and are very glad we could go!=) Have any of you taken a trip this summer?!
