Great White Adventure Continues

 DAY 1 FOR US ~ Ready to head out in the big white whale! 

 DAY 2 ~ First Stop ~ Museum of the Rockies. Lots of Dinosaurs - 

and lots of Chocolate! Very interesting history on chocolate and the exhibit even smelled like chocolate. Needless to say, we had to have a little when we left as it really started your cravings!

We also attended the wedding of Marks cousin Katie and spend some time with Marks side of the family. It is always such a treat to get to see Great Grandma Jeannine!  

DAY 3 - I saw our first large animal of this trip when a moose was running beside us as we were driving down the interstate. I did grab the camera and tried a photo which turned out to be a nice photo of nothing. The co-pilot who is in charge of photos looked like this during the sighting at approximately 630 AM. He did tell me he thinks I saw a horse though and not a Moose as the competition to see the biggest, best and first wild animal is always pretty important! 

Alex sent me this photo ~ Looks like they are having a pretty good time at their school as well. 

Unusual photo of the day ~ We are driving along and saw this ~ looked like this black bear was having a nap in the back of this truck. I am pretty sure it was a permanent nap,  but it was a fun sight for us! 

Got to Seattle ahead of schedule so we used our time as wisely as we could ~ visited the Aquarium and a brief run through Pikes market.

All is going well with the RV. Only one slight mishap when I went down a street that actually ended in a tiny parking lot. Learned how to back up, uphill and  managed not to crunch all of the bikes on the back! I didn't realize how steep the streets are here ~ San Francisco has nothing on this place!  

The forgotten trip of 2014

Looking through the blog I realized that I forgot our summer trip from last year. We spent some time in Montana again ~ Big Sky mostly. A couple of high lights from the trip were White water rafting and skiing in July! 

Off on the Great White Adventure 2015

So, we are starting off this family adventure in a new fashion. Mark and Alex left by Air today to fly to Washington to become sail boat captains. Adam and I will drive to Washington to pick them up when they are done in our all white ~ because- we- ran- out- of- time- to- put- the- new- stripes- on- it ~ motorhome.  Hence ~

THE GREAT WHITE ADVENTURE 2015

I was asked to make sure we blog and found that we had been hacked when I went in to check on things. So, if you try to open this and get advertisements/pop ups, text me. I think I got it fixed which is amazing knowing my tech skills!

Another adventure wraps up

We are coming to the end of another Nelson adventure. Spent the last couple of days finishing up some business in the park and driving. Adam finished the Jr Rangers Program and was sworn in as a Ranger in Glacier. It is such a neat program in these bigger parks ~ definitely not a "duty" taken lightly. We spent the day today swimming, shopping for fishing equipment and riding bikes. Good way to wrap things up! Now, to get home and blow some things up! Happy 4th of July!
