North Pole, Colorado

We spent one day of our Colorado trip in the mountains at the North Pole, which was a small amusement park that was totally Christmas themed. It was amazing because almost every ride was age appropriate for Landon, Colby, and Chase... and the weather was again - perfect! On the way to the park we actually got to see a bear walking right through somebody's front yard. It was crazy!

Breckinridge, Colorado

We went up to the mountains and got to visit Breckinridge. It was absolutely breathtaking, and I can't get over how amazing the weather is. Here are some pics from the trip!

Beautiful Colorado!!!!

We made it to Ashley and Jason's today, and it's so nice being out of the car, and sleeping in a real house! Landon is loving having Colby and Chase to play with. It's so pretty here. I always tell Brendan this is where we're moving once we're done with the Marine Corps. :) We'll post more pics over the next few days, but here are a few for now.

Kansas

Missouri

Day #3

Missourri was pretty... and we got to drive through St. Louis and Kansas City, which was pretty cool. (Every city we drive through Landon thinks is New York City) Other than the cities, there wasn't much to look at. :) The drive felt like it took forever today! Much longer than the last two days... but tomorrow's drive will be much shorter so we're all looking forward to that.
Once we got into Kansas there was a whole lotta nothing. We got to see the big windmill things which looked much bigger in real life than they do on tv. And... once we got about 30 miles out from our hotel we heard of Tornado's that had touched down on the road we were on (luckily at the opposite end). Needless to say we were all completely relieved to arrive at the hotel tonight. Enjoy the pics!

Illinois

At the end of day 2, and we finally made it to our hotel in Illinois. It's soooo much nicer than the first hotel we stayed at. The time changed today when we were driving through Indiana, and we're only 1 hour behind, but it's already kicking our butts. ;) We have an indoor pool here which has been Landon's favorite part of the trip so far. It's only 7:15pm and he's already passed out for the night. Almost the first half of our trip through Kentucky was coming down the mountains and it was beautiful... but it was nice to drive on flat land again towards the end. We're trying to stop in each state and take pictures... but sometimes we forget so we're trying to squeeze random stops in just to get a shot. Enjoy! I'll post more tomorrow night!

Our Trip to California

Our first day of driving went very smoothly. Landon was amazing. And the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We're in Wise, VA tonight, and it's in the mountains... very close to Tennessee. It almost seemed to go by faster than a regular drive from NC to MD... but I think that's because everything was new to us. We just pulled the camera out of our bag once we got here so there aren't many pictures. I'll make sure I keep it within my reach for the next leg of our trip. And I want to say Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in our families!
