We spent days 9-10 with a lot of steady driving from GNP through Montana, Wyoming and Colorado until we reached Fun Valley RV resort near South Fork, CO. Toward the end of the first day of driving, after literally all day of riding shotgun, I told Nick, “I have been so content to sit here …
Today was our day to explore the Many Glacier portion of the park. Based on the ages of everyone in our group, we chose to explore the lower lake area of Grinnell Glacier, and to get there via boat shuttle, which required some planning - we booked these tickets back in December, which ensured we …

Today we woke up and moved to the east side of Glacier, changing RV parks. Although we hoped to leave by around 8:30am to make an early check-in at our next RV park, Nick needed to go into West Glacier for some better wifi for some work related issues, so we ended up leaving closer …
Today started early. We definitely did not want a repeat of yesterday where we couldn’t find parking and had to add mileage onto our hike, so our plan was to leave the RV park by 5am. Thankfully, we were off by 5:09! We warmed up a combination of savory egg cups and breakfast sandwiches that …
Our goal today was to leave the RV park by 7am, and we were only 9 minutes past that goal! However, it turns out that we should have left even earlier. It took quite a while to get through the West entrance into GNP, and once we arrived at the Trail of Cedars / Avalanche …

I love blogging about these trips each summer for a few reasons. Perhaps primarily, I like having the memories written down as we go so that …
This was our fifth trip to Fun Valley; it holds a special place in our memories because it’s the very first place we took our RV when C was 6 months old, and the boys 4 and 6. We’ve returned every summer since except last summer when we had to cancel reservations last minute. Fun …

Day 9 - moving from Grand Tetons to Cheyenne, Wyoming Nick wanted to begin this day early and we left by 6:30am, which provided a beautiful and quiet drive through the Tetons. We drove for a few hours before the kids awoke and we stopped in a little town. I loved this drive through Wyoming …
Day 7 Well, today included a lot of learning moments that concluded with how we would do things differently in the future, ha. Since our next stop was not that far away, we planned to stay in our RV park until checkout time at 11. This worked well for allowing everyone to rest later after …
