Day Six of our Wild West Road Trip Day six was train day. Trever, Abby, and I traveled over to Georgetown to ride the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Sarah – who is not a fan of trains or heights, stayed behind in the room. I would have felt badly for her but I knew she wanted

Day Three of our Wild West Road Trip Day three started relatively bright and early as we left around nine to head down to Mt. Rushmore. When I was initially planning this trip, I thought we could just “swing by Rushmore” on the way up from Nebraska on day two. I slightly underestimated the amount

Day One of our Wild West Road Trip Most years, we take a family vacation. Trever loves the West while I tend to prefer the Appalachians and the South. When we were deciding where to go for vacation this year, we agreed that it was his turn to “go west”. We originally planned a long

Multitasking

Posted on May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 by Karri Brackett
