We're Back. . .

Thank you guys so much for being understanding about my little two week almost month long break. It was much need and appreciated. Life has finally returned to almost normal. Jose started classes back on Monday so I guess that will make it completely normal for us. Him in school and me the law school widow.

Anyway enough moping! Today I wanted to share with you what has been going on for the past two weeks. As some of you may know Jose spent the summer in Washington state interning with the Navy JAG Corps. (Most of you probably guessed this by the random Seattle trip post.) As to how he wound up in WA state its a long story (remind me and I will share it sometime) but we made it through with only minor meltdowns. I'll let you guess who had meltdowns (all fingers point to me). But the main reason for my posting today is that I wanted to share with you the first half of our cross-country road trip. 

The Bacon in the Northwest was amazing. Perfectly cooked and thick cut. 



So you know the giant Jesus in Rio de Janeiro? Well Montana had its own version.



In order to eat a little healthier and to save money we had a cooler packed with lunch supplies and snacks. This is one of our many lunch stops.



We also made time to stop at goodwill's across the country. We like to call it thrift across America. (I think we just found the next reality tv show!)

This is the first hotel we stayed in. It was right outside of yellowstone. The following pics are of the most adorable wild west town.

Jose tried to toss me in the pond.

Our Room

The Doberman Pincher deer we saw. I think it was called a Pronghorn. 

Isn't this little guy just adorable. He posed like that for my picture. 

You see Jose drove out there originally and we thought how fun would it be if I flew out there at the end and we drove back together. And we were right! It was awesome! We made several stops along the way and took our time coming back. I think it took us eight or nine days to get back to Chucktown. Anyway here is the photographic evidence that we went through Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and of course Yellowstone.

 Come back on Thursday to see the rest of our fabulous trip. I may have taken just a few photos (like almost 1000). I think I may have a problem. What did you think? Have you ever driven cross-country? If so did you take the northern route, southern route or just go straight across? I love to hear from you guys so leave a comment (I read them all)!
