Vacation

We went on our family vacation this past weekend and it was a great experience. This was our first road trip with Luke (a 5 1/2 hour drive ended up being more like 8!) and it was a bit more difficult than we had anticipated. He wouldn't sleep for more than about 30 min at a time in the car and on the way up he took only 2 naps and on the way back he took only 1 (but we stopped more on the way back and he did much better). We learned a lot about how to travel with a toddler and our future trips will be planned out a little better to accommodate children more. Despite Luke's dislike of the car we ended up having a really great time and we're so glad we went. We drove through a little bit of Yellowstone and saw Old Faithful, we went on a few little nature walks and drove up the summit of a few mountains. The views are awesome! We were disappointed that we didn't really see any wildlife, but the scenery made up for it. We went to a chuck wagon dinner in Jackson which was a lot of fun, but we couldn't enjoy the show because Luke had had enough. We also walked around the shops in Jackson and had fun making our dinners on a fire (we slept in a little cabin.) Anyways, it was a short trip, but we really had a great time and would recommend it to anyone!
