I’ve had a tomato explosion out there!  While on vacation, my tomato plants went on a rampage and just took over the entire bed they were in.  They are spilling out onto the patio and the yard.  Usually, I have a really hard time growing tomatoes.  The weather won’t cooperate and getting the right amount […]

We got up and got back on the road this morning.  Not much to say other than Rich passed a few cars during his time behind the wheel.  We made it to Mitchell, South Dakota this evening.  When in South Dakota, you have to have a really good steak.  I found a place called The […]

Oh no, it was time to head for home!  Say it isn’t so?  But yes, it is the day I’ve dreaded.  Time to head home.  Today is a driving day as we head out of Canada and make our way toward Holiday Hills.  It was also going to a long day since had to make […]

We have only one full day in Waterton, Alberta.  I really didn’t know what we would do here other than hike a few trails and poke around the area.  It turned out to be quite the surprise though.  The largest town is about 3 hours from here.  The other towns are fair sized.  This is […]

Today, we drove to Alberta, Canada.  The Waterton Lakes National Park is the northern half of Glacier National Park and together they make up the International Peace Park.  I’ve always wanted to see that side of the park and this trip I was going to make that happen. We got up this morning and completed […]

Today is our last day in Glacier.  We decided to do one last hike out at Many Glacier area.  Since it is just Rich and I, we decided to take it easy.  I didn’t sleep well last night, so unfortunately Rich was up earlier than he would have liked.  We were lying in bed comparing […]

Another sad day on our vacation.  Zerah, Sean, and the boys are heading home today.  We always knew this day would come.  Rich and I have a couple of more days in Glacier before we head to the Canadian side of the park. Last night, I was keeping tabs on the boys.  They pretty much […]

Day 9 has come up so fast.  Today, Alex and Joe decided to head off from Seattle a day early.  They heard about the Hiawatha Trail where you can ride a bike down either a 30 mile or 15 mile downhill course.  Can you image finding that more fun than hanging out with us for […]

Today’s adventure was going to be Many Glacier area of the park.  We had breakfast and headed up my favorite road to just north of St. Mary’s.  Many Glacier contains some of the last remaining glaciers in the park.  There are three or four good glaciers still there.  With the past winter just being over […]

Thanks to Joe for being today’s photographer.  Great job on the pics, Joe! Today was a split day.  The adults were taking off to do a hike while I was staying behind with the boys.  Rich wanted to do a pretty good hike for length and height.  He picked the Scenic Point trail that we […]
