Still Driving and Seeing the Sights
After our night in Rapid City, SD, we drove over to see Mt. Rushmore. Matt and I hadn't been there for several years. Anna was excited to see the presidents' faces--and then was ready to leave! We walked along one trail around the monument, then headed out.

This was a common sight for us along our way. There was a motorcycle (or Harley) rally in Sturgous (not sure how to spell that or even where it is exactly). There were hundreds of motorcycles around!
Matt and I were really surprised that Anna didn't take a nap in the car until day 5 of driving! She was a trooper in the car. She was a little crowded, but she did really well. She really enjoyed her time OUT of the car!
The Grand Tetons was our destination after Mt. Rushmore. I LOVE the Grand Tetons! We've already planned a camping trip there sometime next year (maybe).

Our next stop was Yellowstone. We drove through quite a bit of the park (along one side) before we decided to stop to check out Old Faithful. We arrived about 20 minutes before it blew. It was pretty exciting. Anna thought it was awesome!

We drove out of the park after watching the geyser, then went all the way to Gallatin, Montana. We spent a couple of nights with the Greydanus family. Anna was happy to be out of the car and with friends.

We moved across the country during the week of Sturgis too! It made finding a hotel with vacancy in Omaha, Nebraska quite the challenge!
I'm loving this recap of your move. You guys did it right in taking your time and planning some amazing stops! The Grand Tetons are on my list of future vacation destinations.
Hope your settling in well and feeling blessed in your new church family! :)
