Earlier this fall Janice and Ellie and I took a two week trip to Nauvoo and back.
We decided to make an interesting stop or two along the way and see some things we didn't get a chance to see while flying through the year before with our husbands.
We enjoyed a few hours stop at Wall Drug in Wall, SD.

One of the reasons we went to Nauvoo was to help Mom and Dad get a jump start on packing and cleaning as they prepared to leave in another month. While Janice and I went to work, Ellie had a great time playing dress up and getting Grandma and Grandpa's undivided attention.
It wasn't all work, we took a bit of time each day to go and visit the sights in Historic Nauvoo. Ellie just had to sit back and ride in style (as long as she held on tight in our ginny-rigged contraption).
On the way home we stopped over at our cousin's house in Colstrip, MT. While we were there she and her husband took us on a tour of the cole mine where he works.
Those big machines sure make you feel small.
On our final home stretch we had the joy of getting a little flat tire that set us back about 24 hours while they had to overnight new rims from Portland, the only place this side of anywhere that they had them in stock to replace the one of a kind ones that came on Janice's van.
Love road trips, love girl trips, and loved spending two weeks with Janice and Ellie!
