Road Trip 2008

So we're a bit behind in our posting, so I'm going to try to play catch up for a bit. The first item on the agenda is our road trip from the Carolinas back out to Washington this past August. So here are a few highlights and pictures from our trip!

This is a gorgeous sunset we viewed one night at Lake Vermillion Recreation Area just outside of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We were able to camp right on the water, and although it was extremely windy, we had a great view!


One of our main goals was to travel through Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. We drove through there last year but didn't get to stop and look around much. This is such a gorgeous area, and we're already ready to go back again!

We also found the best campsite in the world in the Bighorn NF! It was right next to this stream/river that you see below, and it was such a perfect spot!!!

This was our first campfire, and we were so excited about it! Check out how big that piece of wood is!!! Haha, it lasted us all night. (Also, check out for real how close our campsite was to this river. It was beautiful music to fall asleep to!)

This was pretty funny too...we even got to pump our own water! It was freezing cold, though, so every time we'd finish pumping, we had to run over to the fire to warm our hands back up!

Okay, that's all for our trip. We had a great time, but we were definitely ready to be out of the car by the time we got to Bellingham!
