I am only a few years behind with blogging, but I thought should document our biggest family vacation that we have gone on. Doing this in hopes our kids will want to look back at this when they get older. Yes we like to travel, but it is usually not with our entire family. I planned this vacation a few years in advance, mainly to save a few dollars😂. If you have a 4th grader you can receive a free national parks pass for a full year. So Weston was able to earn us a free pass to get into Yellowstone and the Tetons! This vacation will be broken up into a few posts, since we visited many, many things worth noting.
Day 1: On our first travel day we decided to visit a few places along the way. The first was Fort Robinson in Western Nebraska. We didn’t see a whole lot or go into any of the museums. It was basically just a great picnic spot for lunch. It was a bit chilly out and a cool place to see. One day we will hopefully make it back and explore a little bit. It looked like a fun place.
We then visited Toad Stool Park. It was again…chilly! We walked around for about 30 minutes. It was a really neat place with all of the different rock formations. We definitely could have spent more time exploring there, but we were not dressed properly.
Our main goal was to make it to the Mount Rushmore area before sunset. We made it however it was extremely foggy so this is what we got! Yay!
The weather was just plain crummy! We ended up going to a nice steakhouse in Keystone, South Dakota and hanging out in our hotel for the night. Landon enjoyed swimming!
Day 2…will we get to see anything in South Dakota…stay tuned!
