Moving/Road Trip

We finally got all packed up and headed out Tues. the 24th at like 11:00 pm. We were exhausted, but decided since we were all packed up then why not just head out. It was pretty sad leaving our little home that we have lived in the past 4 years and it was even more sad saying goodbye to such great friends. But we are excited to start our next journey in Utah (which we will be close to family!!)

So, here is the start of our journey. It is a little dark, but we are all loaded up and ready to go. Dan ended up changing the hitch from it being down to up because the truck was too low and it was going to drag (that scared us a little bit) but once he flipped it, it seemed to be o.k.

Trevin all packed in

We ended up driving from 11 pm until about 6:30 am and then stayed at this hotel for the day and then headed out again around 5 that evening.

Saw this while driving. Possibly a tornado???

You get a little bit bored while driving.....

Our next hotel that we stayed at was in Wall, South Dakota and they had a little town that has a strip of neat shops you can go into (Jackson Hole kind of feel).

We decided to go the way we did because we thought it would be cool to see Mt. Rushmore, and that is what we did. It was a lot of fun.

This was on our last day, we were only about 30 minutes away from home. The kids did pretty good. Trevin had a hard time having to stay in his car seat, he kept saying "out" and crying. But for being 2 and stuck in a car seat for hours, he did alright. Carson did a lot better than I thought he would. I would feed him and then he would just fall right back to sleep or just quietly play and then fall asleep.
