Unique vacation pictures
This family vacation was one of the best. We experienced 100 degree heat in Las Vegas and snow in northern Yellowstone, high times in Albuquerque and low times at Carlsbad Caverns. We spent four weeks on the road traveling from Fort Myers in South Florida to as far west as San Francisco and as far north as Yellowstone. We are blessed to have this opportunity to travel with the boys across the United States experiencing so many great cities, small towns, and national parks. These are memories that will last a lifetime for us all, not only in the sights but in the conversations during this 8,000 mile summer vacation from heaven.

This is the family before vacation and after our 8,000 mile summer RV vacation. All emotions got released during our trip ending with smiles and laughter.

I shot thousands of pictures with our new digital camera. I totally had a blast being able to take so many pictures knowing that I could get rid of the blurry and bad ones with a click of a button. I definitely got the shutter bug on vacation and I don't see it subsiding as long as I got the digital. Unfortunately, I left the camera on the table in the RV while we were driving. As we turned a corner that thing slide across the slippery glass table top and slammed onto the tile floor. Lucky for me, it survived and so did I.

The boys hiking through the sagebrush near Gros Ventre campground at Grand Tetons National Park. On the way to this campground we saw a female elk lying in the shade on the side of the road. Good sighting, but as we were driving 40 mph it was a quick sighting. We had a camp fire to roasted hot dogs and marshmallows before wrapping ourselves in blankets on beach lounge chairs to watch the stars in the blackest of black night sky. This was such a peaceful night listening to the nocturnal wildlife awaken while trying to keep up with all the falling stars.

Bison grazing in the meadow at Yellowstone National Park just off the main road. We got so close we could've touched a buffalo or two while driving on the main road through the park. Some bison were walking down the road and others were napping beneath the trees only 100 feet away from us. Get closer gentlemen, I'm sure they don't see you in your camo.
