Today we woke up to the sound of thunder and pouring
rain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately I was grateful that we
weren’t about to stand in a line for an hour and a half in this weather. And
after searching for nearby chapels we realized that there were no meetings that
started after 9:30 am, so that’s another good reason that we did the Cave of
Winds last night. <o:p></o:p></div>

It was still raining hard as we entered church and again as
we left an hour and a half later. We were hoping it would ease up, as we were
going to see the Canadian side of Niagara Falls after church. It didn't. But the view from the
Canadian side was breathtaking, just like I remember it from when I was there
as a kid. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After we’d gotten our fill of the giant waterfall we headed
toward Palmyra, NY. The rain had been steadily pouring all morning with no
signs of a break. Brian and I looked at each other nervously knowing that it
would be difficult to see the church history sites in Palmyra. The kids were
not going to be happy about sloshing around the sacred grove in the rain. But as we pulled into
Palmyra, the sun began to break through the dark clouds and the rain stopped. We
visited the Smith family farm, sacred grove, and Hill Camorra at length with
only a threat of storm clouds around us. <o:p></o:p></div>

By now it had already been a long day, but the elder who
gave us a tour had told us about the printing press where the original copies
of the Book of Mormon had been printed, and it wasn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">too</i> far out of our way. So we decided to add that to our itinerary. I’m
glad we stopped there, not only because learning about 19<sup>th</sup> century
book making was fascinating, but also because they had several <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">original</i> pieces of well known art on
display. Again, the missionary there told us about <i>another</i> church history site in
the area; the Peter Whitmer farm. This is where 30% of the translation took
place and the church was officially organized.<br />
<br />
We probably should have done a little research on all these places before we started this trip, but the whole thing was so last minute that we really didn't have time. We were literally booking hotel rooms a day or two before we stayed in them.Anyway, the Whitmer farm sounded cool so somehow we scrounged
up the energy to visit one last site. It was probably my favorite stop of the
day, making the effort worth it. I especially enjoyed a 4 minute video at the end that
depicted the growth of the church from its humble beginnings; six members in a farmhouse, to where it is
today; filling the earth. We were the last people to leave the visitor’s center
and it was long after dark. Chase and Clara were dragging but they honestly had been such troopers all day!<br />

Today was like a roller coaster of emotions and events! We
began in Kirtland OH, visiting the church history sites there. It’s much
smaller than Nauvoo, but full of stories and miracles. We were in a small group
and the sister missionary who guided us took plenty of time to point out all
the interesting details. We also walked up the hill and visited the Kirtland
temple, now owned by the Community of Christ church. They give tours and have a
great visitor’s center too. I enjoyed being inside a historical building that
I’ve seen so often seen in pictures. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We left Kirtland around three and stopped in town for lunch
before getting on the road again. Once I knew we were going to be driving for a
few hours I called my sister Amber, to check in with her about meeting up in
Philadelphia next week. She also had some terrible news about Poopsie Woopsie
to share with me. He’s been staying there with the Berry’s and Arnell’s while
we’ve been away. I felt bad that she was the one who drew the short straw and
had to tell me that my little Bunny Foo-Foo died a couple days ago. I couldn’t
believe it, and it still doesn’t seem like it can really be true. Five months
ago, a random stranger standing in line in front of me at Pets Mart gave Bunny
Love to me the day before Easter. Admittedly I didn’t want another pet, and
tried to give him away. But once we finally decided to keep him he quickly
became my favorite thing ever. When I heard the news about his tragic death I began
sobbing in the car (I hardly ever get emotional, but I’ve done the ugly cry
twice this week and I don’t want to do it again for at least two years), so we
had to pull over and tell the kids what happened. The whole thing was just
miserable, and I was glad when we finally got ourselves together and kept driving.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were all still somber when we pulled into Niagara Falls
two hours later. We’d planned on doing the Cave of Winds, but there was a crazy
loooong line. It appeared that several tour busses had arrived just before we
did. The forecast said the weather tomorrow morning would be stormy though, so
we figured we’d better wait in the line tonight and crossed our fingers it
would be worth it. None of us knew what to expect, we just heard it was
awesome. And it was! The long wait was totally worth it. The line had several
places to sit, and exceptional people watching. All walks of life, ages,
clothing styles, and at least a dozen languages seemed to be represented zigzagging
through the queue, yet we were all united by our bright blue and white foam
sandals stamped with the Cave of Winds logo. Plus we waited alongside the edge
of the falls and had a beautiful view of the Canadian skyline and a picture
perfect sunset. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it was finally our turn for the main attraction we were
all excited. Full disclosure; there’s no actual cave. Why they named it the
Cave if Winds, I dunno. An elevator descends seventeen stories into a long
tunnel. It spits you out at the base of the falls where there are ramps,
walkways, platforms, and staircases that curve around next to and under the
falls. It was amazing! We wandered around down there as long as we wanted, getting
completely soaked (despite the disposable poncho they provide). Clara was a
little frightened by the thunderous noise, thick mist and gallons of water
spewing from the falls in every direction. She tried to steer clear of the
torrential downpour as much as possible, but eventually she too wanted the
‘full experience’ and bravely planted herself under the falls. The whole
experience was so, so fun. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This morning we visited downtown Chicago and Millennial
Park. The timing turned out perfect, because it rained all afternoon. There was a family festival happening this week so we had some kid-friendly games to play around with and live music to listen to. And we all know I'm a sucker for live music! Shortly after finishing up a ceremonial Chicago style hot dog for lunch we started
driving eastward to Cleveland Ohio. Our original plan was to head north up to
Detroit and on to Niagara Falls from there. But after all the fantastic church
history sites we’ve seen we decided to stay south of Lake Michigan and drive to
Kirtland OH. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We lost another hour, which made it difficult for the kids to
settle down when it was ‘bedtime’ tonight. So we threw them in the hotel pool
to wear them out. Chase had fun catching Pokémon around the hotel grounds too. I’m
starting to have difficulty keeping track of our hotel room numbers, because lately
we stay in a different one every night. I accidentally took the elevator to the
wrong floor, because I was thinking of the room number for the previous night.
My key didn’t work, so I knocked on the door for my family to let me in. At
that point I realized I was in a different hotel, staying in a different room.

We were warned about throngs of visitors in Nauvoo during
‘peak season’ and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't think it was crowded <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">at all</i>. Often we were the
only family walking down an entire street and we never had to wait for a tour. We easily got great seats to the pageant both nights, even though we weren't there to reserve them right at 2:00. Missionaries
there told us that the previous weeks had been much busier, due to tour busses
coming through that were scheduled to see both the Nauvoo and Palmyra pageants.
But since this is the last week that pageants run, all those tour busses were
gone leaving more than enough room for regular families like us. At Carthage
Jail however we weren’t so lucky. It. Was. Packed. Wall to wall people young
and old were squeezed into tours that started every 15 minutes. That was our
first stop on the way out of town this morning and everyone else leaving Nauvoo
must have had the same plan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I’ve been a little
surprised at the number of screaming toddlers and babies that have been on the rides, tours, and shows in Nauvoo over the past few days. And I don’t
mean making the usual squawks and expected blurts of noise. I mean full on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">screaming, </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fighting with each other, running into people, and grabbing period antiques that were behind the barriers</span>. Most of the parents of these little
ones seemed completely oblivious to the disruption. At times I had to remind myself to think Christ-like thoughts, smile, be
patient, be understanding, and help the families if I somehow could. After all,
these parents should be able to experience church history with their
kids just like everyone else.<br />
<br />
But Carthage was different. Probably due to the sheer volume of people, the multiple screaming babies were
louder than ever. So were the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">several</i>
grumbling visitors who were complaining openly about the “ridiculous number of
people allowed onto each tour.” The poor sister missionary guiding our tour was trying her best to make it a positive experience. But we were herded in such a large pack
that I could only catch a glimpse of the rooms we were shuffling through.
Staying together as a family was impossible. Miraculously, despite all of this
mayhem, I was barely affected by it. It was almost like there was a pair of
invisible earmuffs that blocked all the over stimulating chaos happening around
me. I literally felt like I was in a bubble and the only thing that could
penetrate it was the Spirit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have no way to really describe my experience at Carthage
Jail, and it’s personal so I probably wouldn’t share it even if I could.
Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. I don’t know all the details of his life;
the names, the dates, the decisions he made, or the reasons why. But the Holy
Ghost generously poured on me a powerful witness that Joseph Smith restored the
gospel of Jesus Christ to this earth. His martyrdom was a necessary catalyst
that propelled the church into a vital next chapter. It required the saints to
search their hearts for understanding. To dig deep within themselves and pray
for strength to move forward, even though doing so would require greater faith
than they had already overwhelmingly demonstrated.</div>

After doing the ugly cry behind a closed bathroom stall door, I pulled myself together and we began the drive to Chicago. The
route was mainly through endless rural cornfields. We also drove through some amazing storm
systems unlike anything we see in Utah. I was just waiting for a tornado to
touch down somewhere in the distance. Only when we were within an hour of the
booming metropolis did we start to see signs of civilization. Shortly after we
found ourselves at a standstill, in the middle of rush hour traffic. By the time we made it to
our hotel Brian was D.O.N.E. driving. Our evening was low key and uneventful. <o:p></o:p><br />

Eating breakfast around a large table with a bunch of
strangers might seem awkward, but considering we were all in Nauvoo for the
same reason, it was kind of fun. There were couples from California, South
Carolina, and Canada. Ours were the only kids, and I tried not to notice the
looks they were getting from the perfectly mannered southern gentleman across
the table. Apparently Coco Puffs wasn’t his idea of breakfast considering there
were so many wonderful fresh and homemade options available. He was mostly
miffed that Chase wouldn’t try the “date nut bread that was fashioned just the
way mother liked it.” Nobody else at the table seemed to mind though. ;)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had so much to see in Nauvoo today, so we started out
with a buggy ride around town to get an idea of what we wanted to spend more
time on later. While we waited for our turn, the kids and I toured the Family
Living Center. In that building we learned about the day-to-day life of the
original settlers. We visited the rope making station first, but probably should have
saved it for last. Because after making rope the kids wanted to make something
everywhere else we went. Turns out all the other stations were more along the
lines of ‘watching and learning’ than ‘doing.’ We still enjoyed all the
demonstrations on making barrels, candles, wagon wheels, rugs, bread, yarn, tin
goods, bricks and more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite the ridiculous heat, Clara really wanted to visit
the ‘Pioneer Past times’ field, so we did. They had several games for people of
all ages to try out. Brian and I mastered a ‘two-sticks-and-a-hoop’ lawn game
that I don’t know the name of. It was fun but painful on the knuckles! They had stilts for the
kids to walk around on, wooden bear/rope races, and some kind of board game
that looked like Chinese checkers but different. They also had Kandama-type
toys, Jacob’s Ladders (Clara’s fave) and all sorts of other fun things to play
with. Obviously I have no idea what any of them were called, but we were just
there to play, and that’s exactly what we did. The misting system that had been
jimmy rigged to the soffit was no match for the stifling weather, so after a
bit we went searching for ice cream. Plus we needed something cold on Clara’s
throat. She wasn’t feeling any better than yesterday and with it being so
painful for her to swallow, she hadn’t eaten much. We’d heard great things
about Annie’s Custard. It turned out to be exactly what we all needed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next we took a different kind of wagon ride through the surrounding
forest of Nauvoo. We ran into our Stake President while getting tickets (we
also saw some members of our ward this morning. I guess a small world gets even
smaller in Nauvoo). This wagon ride was a little longer than the
‘around town’ buggy ride. We listened to some incredible pioneer stories on the
way. The more I hear some of the same names repeated in different contexts,
time periods, and stories, the more I feel like I’ve gotten to know them on a
personal level. Later we took a reprieve from the heat and
watched a cute indoor musical called ‘The Promise.’ We also visited
more historical homes (Wilford Woodroff, Heber C. Kimball, John Taylor), and
the original homestead and burial sites of the Joseph Smith family. I loved all
the home sites we visited, but my two favorites were John Taylor and the tinsmith homes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally we made our way up Mulholland Street. Even though
it was only 6:00 it seemed like everything was closed! We barely made it
into a market to buy throat spray and OraGel for Clara. The
café’s and souvenir shops we passed were all locked up as well. Thank goodness
for Hotel Nauvoo, which had a dinner buffet open. I have issues with buffets in
general, but this time I was grateful for any option other than the concession
stand nachos from last night. None of us had eaten lunch. I think the intense heat curbed our
appetite for anything besides ice cream. But for dinner we needed real food.
Poor Clara was suffering from the sores in her mouth so much that finding
something for her to eat comfortably was impossible. She cried in pain trying
to swallow a piece of corn.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After dinner we let Chase and Clara browse Zion’s Mercantile
for souvenirs. They were the last shop on the street that was still open, and
we only had twenty minutes before they too would be closed. Clara was going to buy a
pioneer bonnet that she looked downright cute in, but after realizing she’d
never really have any opportunities to wear it she opted for a Jacob’s ladder. Chase quickly settled on a John Taylor pocket watch
replica and a quill pen. He loved the story of John Taylor's pocket watch saving his life by stopping a potentially fatal bullet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was just enough time to enjoy the country fair before
the British Pageant started. We followed the sound of live music first for my
favorite Nauvoo activity - dancing! The mood was so lighthearted and happy that
no one held back. We all danced together, Chase and Clara jumping right in
learning the steps of the waltz and the polka beside Brian and I. We were short
on floor space and after being stepped on by fellow dancers a few times we
moved on to the handcart race and the saw-pull. I’ve never had so much fun at a
country fair. Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a country fair… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our experience at dinner and the relentless pain of Clara’s
mouth prompted us to seek out some Elders to help give her a blessing. Luckily
there were missionaries all over the place at the fair. We walked into a grove
of trees away from the noise and commotion, and wrapped up the blessing just in time to find our seats for the show. The British pageant was as moving as last night's Nauvoo pageant. I’m
so glad we stayed long enough to see both of them! We spotted our Stake
President and his wife again in their costumes when it was over and
visited with them for a few minutes before leaving.<br />
<br />
As we got to our car we
noticed a minivan close by that needed a battery jump. Brian pulled up to help
out, but for some reason we couldn’t get the van to start. Each time we tried
sparks flew, and a small fire even broke out! At that point our car
sputtered and died too. All the adults stood around stunned, while the kids
giggled in the back seat. I was in the middle of calling AAA when along came a
third car to help out. They gave us a jump so that we could again give the van
a jump. Luckily this time it all worked out and we each drove our separate
ways. Situation avoided. Another full day behind us.</div>

My alarm went off at 6:30, but we shushed it and kept
sleeping until 8:00. Much later than our original plan (but still 6:00 am Utah
time I told myself).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t take us
terribly long to gather our things and pack up the car. We won’t be camping
anymore from here on out so we decided to lighten our load and leave our
pillows and our remaining firewood with the Hobbs’. They are considering
keeping the bunny that they’re pet-sitting if it’s an option, and if it’s not
they’d like to get one of their own. So before we left we had to throw out our
ideas for bunny names. By the end of breakfast there was a full size chalkboard
full of potential names. (Side note: I’m told my sisters Kim and Amber both
want to get bunnies too. All three of my sisters have fallen in love with our
Poopsie Pants, and I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s the cutest little fur ball,
and the one thing I wish I could have brought with me on this road trip. I miss
his snuggles! I’m so glad the Kim and Amber’s families can take care of him and
enjoy him while we’re gone though.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first stop of the day was Adam-Ondi-Ahman. Although
there isn’t much there (like a visitors center, or missionaries to give us a
tour) the site is absolutely beautiful and has a spirit that is sweet and
peaceful. We walked along the paths and read the plaques and enjoyed our brief
visit before pressing forward. Nearby is the town of Jamesport, which is the home of
the second largest Amish community in the U.S. We drove through the charming
town and spotted buggies, shops, and farmhouses with laundry hung out on
clotheslines. It was all I could do to drive past the furniture shops without
stopping. I reminded myself that I’d be visiting an Amish community in PA and
would have more time to browse at length. Plus, we needed to get to Nauvoo so we
could reserve seats for the pageant tonight. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the road Clara slept the whole way, Harry Potter kept us
company again, and before we knew it we’d arrived. I have such fond memories of
Nauvoo, even though I haven’t been since I was a kid. After reserving
our seats for the pageant, we checked into the bed and breakfast we had
booked for tonight. It’s a historic home located on Parley’s street, built in
1851, called the Nauvoo Grand. We had the top floor, which gave us plenty of
space to spread out. The whole home and surrounding property of huge trees, tidy vineyard, and adjacent red barn oozed charm. I loved the original details
of the inside too, especially the carved staircase. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then we were off to the visitor’s center where we hoped to
get a general overview of Nauvoo and make a plan for our time here. A cute
sister missionary from Utah helped us. We decided to fill the two and a half
hours prior to the pageant visiting the temple, walking the trail of hope,
watching a variety show, and eating dinner. Somehow we pulled it off, and even
squeezed in a handcart race on top. The temple was beautiful, the variety show
was fun, and so was the handcart pull. But my favorite was walking down the
trail of hope and reading accounts from the early saints who resided in Nauvoo.
The trail leads down to the end of Parley’s street, where it runs into the
Mississippi river. This is the same spot where I was baptized as an
eight-year-old girl! Memories came flooding back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember my baptism day vividly. I recall it was warm, but
not stifling. I felt special that I had the rare opportunity to be baptized in
the same spot that pioneer children were baptized in the warm water of summer.
The same spot where they fled with their wagons on the frozen water of winter,
as violent mobs chased them from their homes. My baptism was a small affair;
exactly what I prefer. Only my family, a couple of senior missionaries, and
some close family friends of ours stood on the banks of the river to witness
the ordinance. Earlier that day I’d found a $10 bill and was concerned about
the person who might have lost it. I went on a walk to the lost and found to
turn it in with brother Griffiths, a family friend who had been asked to give a
talk at my baptism. We talked about the covenants of baptism as we walked, and
I remember feeling the importance of my decision even though I was only 8. I
also remember I’d forgotten my white shoes, so my mom had to run to a
not-so-close store that morning and buy some white Keds in the only size they
had; three sizes too big for me. They filled with squishy mud and barely stayed
on my feet as I walked into the river with my dad. I felt so happy coming up
out of the water. And just when I thought the day couldn’t be any more perfect,
that night there were fireworks! After all, it was the fourth of July. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, back to Nauvoo today. It was awesome to share my
special baptism spot with my family, and afterward we went in search of food. Dinner
was cash only, so we had to borrow money from Chase. Haha! Poor kid had to fork
over the rest of his b-day cash so we could eat! We promised him we’d stop by a
bank tomorrow and square up. Options were slim, so we will definitely be
packing in some food tomorrow night. Chase and I had nachos made with a
powdered cheese mix that just didn’t look natural, and Clara ended up with a
soft pretzel and ice cream because her throat hurt so bad that she could only
handle something soft. In fact, she didn’t seem to be feeling any better even
though she’d had a couple rounds of antibiotics, several doses of ibuprofen and
cough drops. She was barely speaking (which is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very</i> uncharacteristic for her) due to her throat. Then she started
pointing to bumps in her mouth, and we were shocked to see several large, angry
red and white sores in on and around her tongue that looked so painful. All of
a sudden it was clear why she wasn’t responding to antibiotics; she had hand,
foot, and mouth! There isn’t anything you can do about that viral infection
except treat the awful symptoms. We asked a nearby missionary if there was any
kind of pharmacy in town, but he said the only ‘market’ was already closed.
Tomorrow we will be there first thing to pick up something stronger than cough
drops to help numb her mouth and throat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We only had one more event planned for the day; the Nauvoo
Pageant! Clara was a trooper and agreed to go even though she was obviously
miserable. The show was as amazing as I imagined it would be. I loved the
stories that were depicted, the music, and the stage, all of it. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our last full day spent with the Hobbs’ was low key, just
what we needed. We’d offered to take the boys to an indoor trampoline
park/ninja warrior gym, but they opted to hang out at home. Clara still had a
fever and was feeling worse than yesterday. Thanks to modern technology we were
able to see a doctor online, who sent in a prescription to a nearby pharmacy.
So convenient! <o:p></o:p></div>

The highlight of the day came in the evening, starting with
world famous Kansas City BBQ and homemade lemonade for dinner. After we’d all
eaten (and over eaten) we set out for the KC Royals vs. Angels baseball game. It was so
fun! Due to rain earlier in the day, the temperatures had dropped and it was
perfectly peasant outside. My nephews are big time Royals fans, and they were
all decked out in their KC paraphernalia. Even though they lost to the Angels,
there were some exciting plays and the kids enjoyed the concessions and
energetic atmosphere. It was another <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">late</i>
night. We all crashed as soon as we got home, though Brian and I had said we
were going to pack up and get ready to leave early tomorrow morning. I have a
feeling that’s not going to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>;)<o:p></o:p></div>

Sunday rolled around again, giving us the perfect
opportunity to visit Independence Missouri, and Liberty Jail. Important church
history sites, both with impressive visitors centers. This morning we had
Graham riding with us. As per the usual 7-year-old boy conversation, he whipped
out his best potty humor, followed by cootie jokes. It didn’t seem to have the
desired effect on Clara, so he kicked it up a notch. Again, she wasn’t getting
flustered, merely telling him to pipe down. Once we got inside the Independence
visitor’s center, Graham was a different kid. I watched as he asked heartfelt
questions to the sister missionaries and participate eagerly in a discussion on
the trials of the early saints. He expressed a sound understanding of faith;
what it meant to the pioneers and how it applies to us today. A good lesson for me that the antics kids do on the outside isn't always a measure of who they are on the inside. <o:p></o:p></div>

In between the two historical spots we attended church with
the Hobbs’. Kirsten was subbing in primary and teaching young women’s today.
Clara attended her primary lesson and she and I both attended her young women’s
lesson. She’s a very good teacher! After we got home Clara started feeling ill,
so she didn’t come with us to Liberty Jail. She seems a little feverish and she
says her tummy and head hurt. And her ear, and she’s pretty sure a piece of her
throat is missing. And she can’t move her eyes. Dramatic much? Yowza! Hopefully
whatever is ailing her passes quickly, we have a big fun day planned for
tomorrow. One other exciting thing that happened today was getting a package
from home! The Broadbent ‘cousins’ mailed us a fun road-trip package surprising
the kids with games, activities, and treats. I got a brush pen, which will keep
me entertained for hours on end too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>;)<o:p></o:p></div>

Tonight my nephew Miles, came home from his trip with Oma,
Grandpa Paul and cousin Juliette. He flew alone, which caused some anxiety for
both him and his mamma. After being delayed on the tarmac for 1.5 hours, he finally
made it safe and sound. I’m glad we get to spend a day with him tomorrow before
we head out ourselves on Tuesday. <o:p></o:p></div>

Looking at our blue dot location on Google maps we realized
that we’re more than halfway across the country. Each day is flying by! It’s
hard to believe we’re down to the final two weeks of our trip. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we went to an annual water park and picnic party put on
by the Hobbs’ stake. C&C loved the diving boards and lazy river. Later this
afternoon we got the oil changed and the car washed again. We enjoyed a fresh, home
cooked dinner (something we’ve missed on the road) and let the kids stay up
late watching movies. I spent a little time tonight spinning in a hammock swing
in the backyard, watching fireflies blink. Even though the record heat,
humidity, and mosquitoes are kicking our trash, we’re all happy and healthy.<o:p></o:p></div>

On this road trip we have weaved in and out of time zones
and climates. At first it was the warm breezy coast, then the cool breezy
coast, then the arid climate of Yellowstone and the Black Hills. Now we’re in
the muggy Midwest and the heat wave they’re having is no joke. We visited the
waterfalls in Sioux Falls this morning and the humidity was nearly unbearable.
It felt like a hot yoga studio! Showering this morning was probably pointless. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’re beginning phase 4 of our trip; full of church history
sites, starting with Winter Quarters and then Kainsville, Council Bluffs. I
have a little tie to the Winter Quarters temple. When I was doing my internship
at the Church Office Building in the temples department, I worked on the Winter
Quarters temple. I especially remember selecting art and wallpaper for the
brides room. It’s a teeny temple next to a pioneer burial ground, and it has a
very sweet spirit. Across the river we visited a re-constructed tabernacle
where we learned about important events in the early church. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My sister’s home is about two and a half hours further
south, in Kansas City. They’ve lived there for several years, but we’ve never had
a chance to visit them. We were so excited! The Hobbs family is cool in every
sense of the word. Their house turned out to be everything I imagined. Kirsten
has a very distinct, lovely, personal style, and is a classy DIY’er – a rare
breed. When we walked in, my two and a half year old nephew was jamming to
Queen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were ample art supplies,
legos, and an olive topiary. Brian and I stayed in a room with two drum sets
and three electric guitars among other music instruments. Their delightful home
is like a think tank where the creative juices are always flowing. All four of
my nephews are bright and talented in their own ways. My sister can be seen
whirling around the kitchen creating a gourmet recipe, or making a bunny hutch,
or hugging a squishy baby, or preparing a church lesson, or sorting bags of
donated clothes for a local charity. Our only disappointment was that we missed
Max, who is visiting his parents in Idaho.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span class="s1">Devils Tower was our first stop of the day. It was a scorching hot 110 degrees outside which was an issue for both Brian and Clara (they share many of the same genes). She was a sweaty wilting mess within minutes of getting out of the car. She insisted that she was dying and I tried not to laugh. In her defense there were EMTs on site due to two heat exhaustion cases that had happened moments before we arrived. And park rangers were discouraging people from hiking in the heat today as well. They didn't have to twist our arms, we barely made it to the boulder fields at the base. Even though we didn't stay too long, we did catch the first part of a junior ranger program on rock climbing which was pretty cool. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Or next stop, Mt. Rushmore, was two hours away from Devils Tower. We stopped at the little town of Keystone, just a few miles from the monument and took a scenic chairlift ride that had views of Mt. Rushmore in the distance. Then we rode an alpine slide down the mountain. The slide was awesome! It's so much faster and curvier than the one in Park City. I think we all could have ridden it a dozen times and still loved it. After that we were off to get a closer look at the monument. This was the first time any of us had been to Mt. Rushmore so we didn't really know what to expect. Turns out it was fascinating! I was very impressed with how well everything was done. I'm not a history buff by any means, but I do love reading interesting backstories. I especially loved reading about the sculptor, and the many people who spent years working on the massive project. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We ate dinner at an overpriced national parks cafe, but </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">the views of the mountain from our patio table were totally worth it. And of course we had to try Thomas Jeffersons ice cream recipe for dessert. Supposedly he was the first person to introduce the cold, creamy, deliciousness to America. That man... Who knew he had so many accomplishments? I owe a lot to him. They serve his ice cream recipe (along with regular 'modern day' ice cream) and copies of his recipe in his own handwriting. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Tonight we stayed for an evening program and to watch the mountainside be lit at sundown. As we waited for it to start I watched the American flag, raised only to half mast, hang limp below the iconic presidential faces which are carved into the side of Mt. Rushmore above. I couldn't help but wonder if the flag ever makes it to full staff these days, given the world we live in. What do these former presidents think about the status of the flag and the country it represents? The same country they served and sacrificed with hope for it's bright future? </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Here we are taking our kids on a coast to coast road trip, in part to instill in them a sense of patriotism and respect for their country. As a family we are experiencing moments of peace and solitude, of wonder and beauty, of history, adventure and fun. But in the background we catch glimpses of the news, of headlines portraying a harsh reality that is far from the American ideals that this country was founded on. On one hand I want to raise children who are proud to be Americans, living in 'the home of the free and the land of the brave'. On the other hand I am repulsed by the violence, corruption and general lack of values that has become the way of life for so many Americans. I wonder what kind of country my grandchildren will be left with. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I take hope that tonight I was just one of many Americans that filled a large amphitheater, waiting to hear a lecture on Liberty and pay tribute to men and women who make it possible. Although I don't condone so much of what goes on in our country today, at least I know that I am free to live my life as I so choose. I never want to take that for granted, and regardless of what goes on around us I hope my kids always appreciate their freedom too.</span><br />

This morning Brian, who hadn’t gotten more than a few hours
of sleep on Sunday night, agreed to take it slow instead of rushing out the
door. When we did hit the road we drove straight to West Yellowstone, passing
good old Rexburg on our way. We’ve been to Rexburg once before with the kids,
so we didn’t feel the need to tour the college town where Brian and I met this
time around. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been several years since we visited Yellowstone with
the kids however, and I was surprised at how crowded it was. I guess this time
of year is prime for tourists. We took the lower loop, keeping our eyes peeled
for wildlife on either side of the road. The Bison that are usually loitering
around every other meadow were elusive today. The park is so big, and you never
know what you’ll see where. Before long we arrived at Firehole, one of Mother
Nature’s best waterparks. I loved it not only because of the fun cliff jumping,
the current that’s perfect for floating down, or the prime sunbathing spots, but
because the water is actually warm(ish). Hence the name Firehole. I’m told
there’s some kind of natural hot spring that pours into the river, taking the
edge off the naturally frigid river water. We had so much fun playing in the
river that it was easy to forget about the rest of Yellowstone we had come to
see. Clara especially didn’t want to leave, so I stayed in the river with her
as long as possible. We played tag and made up a swimming routine and chatted
in the shallow water where the sand was soft. She said, “Mom, this is the most
fun I’ve ever had with you swimming! You usually never get in the water!” That
just goes to show how warm the river was, because I don’t swim in cold water.
Ever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we finally coaxed Clara out of Firehole river, we
continued to follow the lower loop toward Old Faithful. On the way, Brian
pulled off at Sapphire Pool. Chase had fallen asleep in the car, wiped out
after swimming hard at Firehole. Clara and I walked up the boardwalk slowly,
studying the mysteriously beautiful colors that seemed too vivid to be natural.
Mother nature was clearly showing off. I was thrilled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually we made it to Old Faithful, which graciously
accommodated us by erupting within 10 minutes of our arrival. We were still
behind schedule, but not having to wait 90 minutes to see the famous geyser was
much appreciated. Again, the boardwalk was teeming with people but we managed
to get a pretty good spot to watch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The plan for tonight was to stay in Cody, WY, after going to
a rodeo in town that started at 8:00 pm. I thought a small town rodeo would be
the perfect way to end the western phase of our trip. Despite Old Faithful
being cooperative, we still didn’t pull into Cody until 9:20, so we obviously missed
the rodeo. In fact, we decided not to stay in Cody tonight at all. Instead we
kept driving to Buffalo, WY, a few hours further east. Our logic: we’re
approaching a phase of our trip that will likely be much less exciting than our
travels thus far. The more hours of driving across vast, brown, dry land we can
get under our belt while it’s dark and the kids are asleep, the better. It
turns out the drive to Buffalo wasn’t quite what we expected. The two-lane
highway was winding, narrow and steep. We’re talking hairpin turns on an 8%
grade with deer and jackrabbits darting about. The moon was full and beautiful,
and it was easy to tell even in the dark that we were driving through scenic
pine-filled canyons. When Brian became tired I took over driving. Not long
after, I spotted a large owl sitting in the middle of the road in front of me.
I expected it to fly off, but it didn’t. Then in the back of my head I recalled
driving lessons from my dad, instructing me not to swerve. I clutched the
steering wheel tighter and willed myself to plow straight ahead, all the while
thinking ‘it’s going to move, it’s going to move, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">it’s going to move, right</i>?!’ Thud. The owl did not move. I am so
glad the kids were asleep in the back because there would have definitely been
some tears shed at that moment. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We were winging it (no pun intended) as far as a place to
sleep when we got to Buffalo. I called the hotel we had reserved for tomorrow
night and they were able to cancel my room for tomorrow but they did not have
any vacancy tonight. After passing a few motels and as many ‘no vacancy’ signs
we found a days inn that had a room available. Not really my first choice, but
options were scarce and we were all tired. A girl walked by my car while Brian
was checking us in at the office, and then she walked by again. She was staring
at the front of the car. She walked by twice more, and then approached my
window. “There’s a large bird stuck to the front of your car,” she said. Sure
enough, the owl was still there, wings splayed across the bumper. I was
horrified! It was traumatizing enough killing it, but did it really need to
hang about? Brian was also shocked when he came out of the office and saw the
carnage on the front of the car. I’m not keeping track of all the reasons I
love being with Brian, but if I were, I’d add ‘cleans road-kill off bumper for
me’ to the list. That’s true love. <o:p></o:p><br />

After a morning swim of course. The laundry services at the hotel weren't available, so we visited a local laundromat. A first time experience for all of us. Strange as it sounds, it was kinda fun! I'm dreaming of those giant commercial washers & dryers for my own home... We also washed the car inside and out. It still had sand from the beaches of southern California, and mud from the Redwood forest, and more than a few bugs accumulated on the bumper.<br />
<br />
After everything was nice and clean we ate lunch and then started the drive to Idaho Falls, where we were to meet up with Brian. Along the way I received texts from Lexee with photos from the funeral services. They were beautiful! Lexee's so good at documenting and sharing memories with the family. I wished I could have been there to celebrate Grandma Betty's life, but seeing how lovely everything was from the pictures made me feel better. I had three hours to think about my memories of Betty. I love her so much!<br />
<br />
Brian and I must have synchronized our watches unknowingly, because we pulled into Idaho Falls at the exact same time. We took the kids to see 'The Secret Life of Pets' at the only movie theater we could find. It was a ghetto theater but the movie was cute. Brian is exhausted. I don't think we have to be anywhere first thing in the morning so hopefully he can catch up on sleep!<br />

After a quick breakfast we packed up the car (which we're becoming quite efficient at) and drove to a local meetinghouse for church. I was so relieved that we could make sacrament meeting this week, as it feels like the only constant part of our fast paced, nomadic summer vacation. Today I began to miss our home ward though, and especially the primary kids. It's only been three Sundays that we've been gone but it feels longer than that somehow.<br />
<br />
After church we continued east to our next destination: the Hiawatha Trail. This is another bucket list item that we've been wanting to do for years. We don't make it up to northwestern Montana very often (cough...ever) though, so I didn't think we'd ever really get a chance to ride the famous trail. The Hiawatha Trail was once an old railroad, which was converted to a bike trail after trains no longer used it. It meanders through tunnels and over bridges that span pristine Montana mountainsides. Wildflowers grow spontaneously on the sides of the trail, which is an easy gentle decline the entire way. It was so easy that after 7-10 miles I kinda wished were riding back up it at the end instead of having a shuttle pick us up. And the weather was gorgeous! We stopped a lot to take in the view and read the historical information displayed on plaques along the way.<br />
<br />
A few miles from the end of the trail dark clouds started rolling in, bringing humidity and cooler temperatures with them. I wasn't too concerned at first, but as we continued to ride the sky became more ominous. Just as we rode out of the second to last tunnel, we heard the first clap of thunder. Minutes later it started to rain lightly. We were so close to the end, and I was grateful we hadn't started out on the trail any later in the day. Up ahead we could see the spot where the shuttle would pick us up. As we approached, the sky opened up and heavy rains started falling. A torrential downpour pounded the shuttle as it drove it's soaked passengers and their bikes to the top of the trail. The driver stopped only to point out a moose that was crossing a pond below. Once the moose was out of site the driver started up again. He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the weather. Here's the thing about the shuttle; it doesn't take you all the way back to the trailhead, but drops you off a couple miles away. So once we exited the bus we had to hop back on our bikes and ride as fast as we could in the cold rain. I was especially proud of Clara's willingness to do this, as she is terrified of thunder and lightning, and we were surrounded by both. We peddled hard to the entrance of the last tunnel, where we were finally sheltered from the rain. The tunnel was 1.5 miles long, so it was dark most of the way (we had lights on our bikes which helped a ton) and freezing cold air blew through it constantly. It didn't take long for my fingers to go numb (thank you Raynaud's) and I was dreading having to thaw them out. That's always the most uncomfortable part. By the time we had reached the end of the tunnel the storm had been reduced to a light drizzle. We finished out the ride wet and splattered in mud, but happy as could be. After all, the adventure as a whole was a super fun experience!<br />
<br />
Back in the car we shivered around the heater until we were warmed up. We had a two hour drive to Butte, Montana ahead of us. There we parted ways with Brian, who's heading home for Grandma Betty's funeral. Then the kids and I checked into our hotel, and I finally got them settled down for bed around 11:00 pm. I think there must have been a time change though, because it felt more like 10:00.... I'm going to listen to the last couple episodes of my podcast and call it another successful day.<br />

We made it to CDA today, and it's as lovely as I remember from the last time I visited. Other than that the day itself was quite uneventful. We slowed it way down this morning; sleeping in, catching up on laundry, etc. Clara went swimming for a bit, and Chase called his friends. We didn't leave our hotel till around noon to start driving to Idaho. Despite our slow morning, I still felt wiped out and had a slight headache, so I slept for most of the drive. I had work to do, but every time I cracked my laptop I started dozing off so eventually I gave up. Chase and Clara were also sleepy on our drive. They haven't complained one bit about being in the car, and I think it's because we wear them out whenever we get to a destination. They're perfectly content to drive for several hours listening to an audiobook (we're on Harry Potter 2 now). Luckily Brian was driving because he was the only one of our bunch today who didn't seem groggy.<br />
<br />
No pix today, there wasn't anything worth getting my camera out for. I might have a couple on my phone, if I do I'll upload them later.<br />
<br />
I have to say I enjoyed Seattle quite a bit. I'd definitely like to return sometime.<br />

The morning came too soon for all of us, considering our late night. And the spacious hotel room was so comfortable that we all groaned when the alarm went off at 6:00 am. Somehow we managed to stumble out the door by 6:30 and load up the car for Puget Sound. At the Anacortis harbor we hopped a ferry to Friday harbor, just a stones throw from the Canadian border. The itinerary today was a kayaking expedition in the San Juan islands. This is one of those bucket list items for Brian and I and it seemed unbelievable that we were actually doing it. Admittedly I was as nervous as I was excited. The air was downright cold and the 40 degree water is frigid even for those much tougher than I. We had packed as light as possible for this road trip, and trying to be prepared for all possible types of conditions was... futile. I tried not to think about the warm clothes I had back at home that would have made this outing more comfortable. I was also nervous about how the kids would do with so much paddling, given their limited experience with kayaking. This was a six hour excursion. And we were going to be in Orca territory! What if we didn't see any after all the effort and money we put into this? And what if we did see one, a close one?! Too close for comfort? Would Clara start screaming or crying? What if I had a panic attack? </div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Somewhere on the ferry ride the sun broke through the clouds and it started to warm up. It looked like it was actually going to be a gorgeous day. Our taxi was waiting for us at the harbor and everything was going smoothly. After lathering up with sunscreen and getting the 101 on sea kayaking we launched from San Juan park. The paddle was tough in the ocean water, and we got stuck in bull kelp a few times but we persisted... Chase and I were paired in a tandem kayak and didn't have near the manpower as the other kayaks in our group. I paddled my heart out trying to keep up. Our guide Pat, told us all about the impressive Orca activity that has been taking place over the past couple weeks. "We easily have an 80% chance of seeing them today," he said confidently. "Yesterday they were everywhere! Hunting salmon, breaching, joining up with other local pods and having some kind of meet and greet ritual, playing in the coves, etc... We were about an hour late coming into shore yesterday afternoon because we were literally blocked by Orcas." </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">About two hours into the trip and still no sightings Pat had become much quieter. Eventually he began pointing out the 'fascinating' jellyfish and sea hair (it looked like seaweed). We did spot a couple seals and a bald eagle... Cool but nothing we hadn't seen before. Nothing worth the trek we'd made to kayak <i>with whales</i>. Eventually we stopped on a beach for lunch and the mood in our group was noticeably deflated. Clara and Brian were probably the only two still acting chipper. Pat kept saying "it's not over till it's over." We all stared intently, fixated across the 8 mile stretch of water in between USA and Canada, where supposedly thousands of whales pass through during the month of July. I tried to tune out the corny jokes our guide had started telling out of sheer desperation. He could tell he was losing us. We let the current do most of the work drifting us back into the cove after lunch. My sore arms and shoulders were grateful. And before we knew it the trip was over. We. Saw. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I was so disappointed! I kinda wanted my money back. I'm 'that person' who thinks about all the other ways we could have spent our day today. For example, worst case scenario I could have hit the rowing machine at the gym and watched Planet Earth for six hours and saved myself a sunburn and a wad of cash. And I probably would have seen more wildlife! </span><span class="s2">😂</span><span class="s1"> In all fairness to the San Juan islands, they are very pretty. And if you have no expectations, nothing else to do, and time and money is also no issue, I'm sure paddling around its coast is a great way to spend your day. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I was glad to finally get back to Friday Harbor and sit down with a nice cold coke on a darling garden patio and rest my arms. There were cards on the table and C&C had fun playing Egyptian rat slap while we waited for our food. My crabby mood was softening. I started to reprimand myself for letting ridiculous first world problems bother me, and resolved to try looking on the bright side. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My resolution was short lived. Once on board the ferry we heard the news that one of the other ferries had broken down and our boat was going to need to make up the extra stops between the islands. Our 1.5 hour ride was actually going to be 3 hours. We wouldn't get back to Anacortis till after 9:00, and then we had to drive two hours back to Seattle. Luck was really not on our side today. Clara was hungry (although we'd just eaten) and our batteries were drained on our devices. That was the end of my desire to look on the bright side. I was crabby again. There were two tender mercies: a galley with fresh cut fruit for Clara, and a 750 piece puzzle on our table that some good soul provided to keep passengers entertained! Working on that puzzle (of Orcas, ironically) kept me sane as we zig zagged from harbor to harbor. Brian said the whole situation reminded him of the one and only cruise we took years ago, where our ship broke down in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Wasn't I just saying yesterday how Brian is like a good luck charm and things always work out when he's around? Apparently I spoke too soon. I can say with certainty though that he's chronically optimistic, patient, and makes bad days tolerable. And that's even better than being a good luck charm. </span></div>

Somehow we scored another unbelievable campground last
night. Brian said it’s just because there are no bad ones in this part of
the country, and I think he’s right. Instead of the typical cereal, bagels, yogurt,
whatever we have in the cooler breakfast that we usually eat while camping, we
went all out. After all, it’s CHASE’S BIRTHDAY! That’s right, we have an
official <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">teenager</i> on our hands. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we were bound for Seattle. The first two hours we
drove but the last hour we ‘gave our car a break’ and took a ferry into the
city. The kids thought it was cool that we could drive our car onto the boat. I
thought seeing the Seattle skyline from the water was pretty spectacular too.
We spotted jellyfish from the side of the boat and scoped out the waterfront
homes that lined the shores. By now I’m pretty much used to everything we do and
everywhere we go being windy and slightly chilly. I’m sure the weather will change
drastically as we travel across the Midwest, so I’m telling myself to
appreciate the constant cool breeze of the Northwest. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Seattle we hit the usual tourist traps, starting with ‘Ye
Old Curiosity Shoppe’, which Chase has been longing to see. Walking through the
store I felt like Harry Potter in Diagon Alley. It features shrunken heads, a
giant whale rib, several two headed animals, a mummified prospector, an old
player piano, novelty gadgets, and other odd, quirky contraptions and relics
both real and contrived. Brian wasn’t impressed and was ready to leave after
about five minutes but the kids were not to be rushed. They’d both earned
souvenir money and were determined to spend it at this shop. We sent Brian to feed the meter so they could have more time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once C&C were satisfied with their purchases, we set
off for the gum wall. We chomped sticks of strawberry flavored starburst gum as
we walked so they’d be good and ready to contribute to the city’s most
disgusting alley. I was unprepared for how repulsed I’d feel when I got there.
The smell, the germs, it was all. just. gross. But for the sake of the kids and
the sake of being tourists I played along. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pikes place wasn’t far from the gum wall, and we walked
around there next. That’s where the fish smell really got to Clara, who hates
seafood of any kind. I'll be honest, due to the unpleasant fragrance of the gum wall immediately followed by the pungent smells of the fish market, my stomach was also starting to turn. We didn’t stay long, as most of the vendors were starting
to close up for the day. Plus we wanted to get dinner and make it to a ‘Seattle
Underground’ tour we'd heard about. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We let the birthday boy pick dinner and he wanted Chinese
food or wings. We found a little hole in the wall within walking distance that
happened to have both! But once we sat down to eat none of us were in a hurry
to get up again. It felt good to take a break from all the walking we'd done. We talked about when Chase
was born, and the things we each love most about him. A birthday dinner tradition. Our ‘Seattle Underground’
tour time came and went, and none of us were all that concerned about skipping it. Besides, we still had to find a place to get Chase a birthday
treat (the Chinese/Wings place surprisingly didn’t have any cake or ice cream ;)) and we wanted to visit the
Space Needle after the sun went down. Oh yeah, and the troll bridge. I almost
forgot about that! We drove to the Troll Bridge and let C&C climb all over
the giant sculpted troll while we took some pix. Around the corner from that
were two treat shops; Pie and Bluebird Ice Cream/Soda Shoppe. Chase chose Pie,
and the nice folks there even had a birthday candle for us! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By the time we finally made it to the Space Needle it was
well after 9:30 pm and we were tired. Then we saw the sign that all the observation deck tickets were sold out for the evening. Bummer! That's the risky part about having a spontaneous itinerary, and both Brian and I felt bad that we hadn't reserved tickets in advance. I don’t know how he did it, somehow Brian talked the manager into opening four extra spots for us (even
though she was turning everyone else away right and left)! We tried to be inconspicuous about getting in so the other people wouldn’t get upset. (Side
Note: I’m starting to think Brian has some kind of Jedi magic because people
bend the rules for him all the time. He’s ‘that guy’ who always scores the best
parking spot, wins raffle drawings, talks his way out of speeding tickets, and gets in to things even when they're sold out. Maybe it's his pretty blue eyes...) Anyway the observation deck Space Needle was worth the wait! The view
was stunning. Seattle really is beautiful and I’m so glad we got to see
it in all its ‘city skyline at night’ glory. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t even know what time we checked into our hotel, but
it was LATE. Like pushing midnight. It took a little while to get the kids settled down and all our things situated. By now it's 1:45 and we have to get up at 6:00, so I’m going
to bed!<o:p></o:p></div>

It was a picture perfect morning. The front porch of our
cabin overlooks a river lined with trees and lush greenery. I’m glad we stayed
in a cabin instead of a tent last night, because we had a full day planned and
wanted to get on the road in a timely manner. Of course when we realized there
was Wi-Fi at the lodge on our way out, we stopped in our tracks, sat on the porch,
and hovered over our devices catching up on texts and emails. Meanwhile the
kids wrote postcards to their friends. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After driving along the pristine Oregon coastline we stopped
at the Tillamook cheese factory for some ice cream. I love that there are so
many random but fun things to do and see that keep popping up along our route. It
just happened to be on the side of the road, so we pulled in. After a little
more driving we reached Kelley’s Brighton Marina for some crabbing. We were
obviously novices, but it was so fun! We liked it much better than fishing (one,
because we actually caught things - and two, we could chat it up as loud as we
wanted with each other and with our fellow crabbers on the pier without having
to worry about scaring the catch away). Afterward the kids and I played a game
of giant Jenga while we were waiting for our food. Turns out the food never
came, even after placing the order twice! So we bailed. We had too much to do
to sit around waiting for crabs to cook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Further still up the coastline we stopped at Cannon beach,
where infamous scenes from Goonies were filmed. It was there that Clara FINALLY
found sand dollars! That was the number one thing on her bucket list for this
trip, and although we’ve been up and down the entire coast we haven’t seen a
single one until today. It’s a good thing too, because tomorrow we start
heading inland and the chance of finding sand dollars is nada. We also spotted
jellyfish, which we haven’t seen on this trip either. After beachcombing
Cannon’s picture perfect shores we ducked into Mo’s for my favorite meal of the
trip so far. Their chowder actually lived up to the hype. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Up the coast we drove again, through the charming town of
Seaside, followed by a visit to Fort Clatsop and a history lesson on Lewis and
Clark. I learned the Pacific Northwestern pronunciation of Sacagawea, which was
quite different than I’d heard before. I had to ask the costumed ranger wearing
a coon-skin cap to say it a few times before I realized who she was talking
about! Around here it’s SacAAAgaweya (mutter the last couple syllables fast and
under your breath like they don’t really exist), not SacagawEEya. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next stop was the town of Astoria, right on the border of
Oregon and Washington. We couldn’t resist driving past the Goonies houses
(Mikey’s and Data’s), inconspicuously taking a quick photo from afar, as the
owner who lives in the house does not like tourists. Turns out the house is
actually for sale. I’m not surprised. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally we made our way over the bridge into Washington,
where we’re camping tonight. Unlike two nights ago, this campground is
practically vacant. The showers and toilets work, and the views are absolutely
stunning. I can’t believe such beautiful places really exist!<o:p></o:p></div>

This morning’s less than stellar wake up call was from the
crows squawking loudly above our tent, followed by a little girl in a nearby
tent singing B.I.N.G.O. at the top of her lungs. I guess every morning can’t be
perfectly dreamy. Brian took the kids down to the beach and I headed off to the
showers. Bad news; the entire bath- house was closed. Toilets, showers, sinks,
everything. A little boy told me there was another bathhouse on the other side
of the campground so I started trekking. I arrived just in time to see the camp
host taping ‘out of order’ signs to its doors as well. I was jealous of the
people who had gotten there earlier than I and were able to shower, until I
found out that there had been a sewer line break and their water was likely
contaminated. At that point I was very, very grateful that I had already
showered. Brian was able to get cell coverage at the beach, and when he
returned he shared the bittersweet news that grandma Betty had passed away. She
will be greatly missed! She kept her spunky wit right up until the end. Brian
and I were able to spend some time with her the weekend before we left and she
was as endearing as ever. I can’t help but think about her reunion with her
husband George, and how wonderful that must have been. <o:p></o:p></div>

After packing up camp we visited a nearby botanical garden.
I had fun pretending I was a nature photographer and playing around with
different settings on my camera. Brian boldly braved the gift shop with the
kids (an experience I’m starting to loathe) so they could pick up some
postcards for their friends. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then we were off to the tide pools. We found all sorts of
fun creatures. I can’t get enough of this beautiful Oregon coastline! <o:p></o:p></div>

Waking up beneath giant Redwood trees was the perfect way to
start the day. We didn’t have the rainfly on the tent last night so we could
see straight up through the top and into the towering trees that surrounded us.
It was the first thing I saw this morning and the vivid image is still in my
mind. With the benefit of daylight, we walked around the area near our campsite
and quickly discovered that it was even more beautiful than we had realized
last night. We were slow to pack up, but the promise of a day full of adventures
got us going. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About an hour and a half north of us we pulled off the 101
to hike a trail called Trillium Falls, named after the small white flowers that
covered the ground. It was a 2.1 mile loop, with the falls only ¼ mile in. It’s
hard to describe hiking through an old growth Redwood forest. I felt like I was
on a different planet, or that I was on ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids.’ Everywhere
we looked there was something beautiful and surreal commanding our attention.
We hiked slowly, partly because we were staring in awe at our surroundings and
partly because Clara had biffed it at the beginning of the trailhead. Her knee
was hurt badly enough that Brian had to carry her for a while. She’s been
hopping or hobbling all day long. It’s pretty swollen but not discolored…
hopefully she’ll recover quickly. At the end of the hike we ate lunch and then
hit the road again. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We finally made it out of California and are spending our
first night in Oregon. Sunset Bay is where we’re camping tonight. It’s very
different from the Redwoods from last night but equally beautiful. The bay has
a sandy beach, there are tide pools close by, and places to watch the seals and
sea lions (yes I learned the difference again yesterday; one has earflaps and
the other has ear holes, but I can’t remember which is which). We watched a
stunning sunset over sunset bay and then came back to camp for a fire and
s’mores. I love that both campgrounds we’ve been to have flush toilets and
showers. But there’s absolutely no Wi-Fi to be found, and cell coverage is
spotty at best. I’m journaling every day, but don’t know when I’ll actually
have a chance to upload to the blog. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One reason we need Internet access is to figure out where
we’re going and staying tomorrow. Our itinerary is so loose that we don’t have
many details figured out yet. We also need Internet so we can find a flight
home for Brian. His grandma is likely going to pass away tonight (we probably
won’t hear about it until we’re back in cell range tomorrow), and her funeral
is scheduled for next Monday. We’ll probably be biking the Hiawatha trail or
making our way across Montana that day… But making sure Brian can be home for
grandma Betty’s funeral is the first priority. I wish we could all be there,
but the logistics aren’t in our favor. <o:p></o:p></div>

This morning we said goodbye to San Francisco by driving
down Lombard Street and across the Golden Gate Bridge on our way out of town.
We were making our way to the Marine Mammal Institute on Sausalito. It was the
coolest place! I’m so glad our friends Susanne and Maddie told us about it. The
Marine Mammal Institute is essentially a hospital where they rescue injured,
ill, or malnourished marine mammals and bring them to their facility for treatment.
They treat patients from up and down the entire west coast. Once the animals
are completely recovered they are released back into the wild (just like on
Finding Dory, minus Sigourney Weaver). Today happened to be one of two Sundays
a month where you can listen to a marine biologist talk about a certain topic -
this month it was mammal noises/communication. Super fascinating. We toured the
whole facility and watched the baby sea lions and seals for a bit. They were <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ridiculously </i>cute. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

When we finally got back on the road we went in search of a
ward house to attend sacrament meeting. I’d looked on the meeting locator
online and thought we’d found the perfect option. However when we got there it
was already over. Confused and bummed, we settled for listening to the Mormon
Channel instead. By now we were headed to the Redwood Forest to see the tallest
trees in the world. We first visited one of those ‘drive through a tree’ stops
but as we suspected our car wouldn’t fit due to the car-top carrier. We still
watched a few other cars drive through and walked through on foot. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shortly past Eureka we stopped at a random campground to spend the
night. It’s called Emerald Forest and the name is the perfect description.
These giant trees and other foliage create a thick, green, almost surreal
forest that is very different from the Utah camping trips we’ve experienced. We
pulled in at dusk, with very little time to set up camp and prepare dinner
before it was completely dark. Chase and I worked on the fire while Brian and
Clara assembled the tent. We were struggling with the fire because all the wood
was damp. There’s so much moisture in the air it seemed like everything, even
strips of cardboard, were slightly damp within minutes… We didn’t have lighter
fluid either (we will definitely be picking some up tomorrow), but we were
persistent and eventually got enough of a flame to heat up our tinfoil dinners
and make s’mores. Both were delish. <o:p></o:p></div>

Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629366469408890798.post-13758034290452922262016-07-10T01:16:00.000-07:002016-07-10T01:25:14.966-07:00San Francisco!What a fun, full day! Despite sleeping well last night we were all a little sluggish trying to wake up early this morning. Turns out there's a cable car station right by our hotel which took us straight down to Fisherman's Wharf, with beautiful views of the city and bay along the way. Of course we had to wait in a crazy long line, but we had hot chocolate, the music of a talented street performer, and a speed game of 'alphabet' to entertain us.<br />
<br />
We had reserved bikes at 'Blazing Saddles' to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. Brian and I have done this excursion a few times on past visits to San Francisco, and it's always fun so we really wanted to do it with Chase and Clara. We took a slightly longer route than recommended because I wanted to ride past the Palace of Fine Art and through the Presidio. The Palace of Fine Arts has a distinct dome shaped roof that's easy to spot from all over the bay. It was fun for the kids to look back at it from the bridge, the ferry, etc. and see how far they'd ridden. It also has the perfect grounds for a picnic, with big trees, a lake with swans, turtles, birds, and fantastic architectural columns. We underestimated how hungry we'd be, and plowed through the lunch we had packed. From there until we were on the Golden Gate Bridge, the route became fairly difficult. We had to climb some serious hills. I had to engage muscles I forgot I even had. It didn't help that my bike chain kept seizing up and/or falling off every time I tried to change gears either. Luckily a nice local cyclist lent us his allen wrench so Brian could adjust the de-railer. Whatever that means. After the quick roadside tune up it was still acting iffy, so he offered to switch me bikes. He's strong enough to pedal those hills without adjusting gears, and I'm... well let's just say I'm going to be sore for days even with the ability to change my gears. ;)<br />
<br />
The weather in San Francisco is slightly schizophrenic. It goes from cloudy to sunny to windy to calm to cold to hot in a matter of an hour. Knowing this we had layers that we kept adding and shedding accordingly. When we were riding the bridge, it was windy, wet, cold, and completely covered in fog. Shortly after we'd crossed, the fog began to clear and the sun emerged. Go figure! The kids were rockstars during the whole ride until they became hungry. Luckily we knew of a fun little spot called 'Salsalito Taco Shop' which was perfect for resting our legs and snacking on steak nachos.<br />
<br />
After the ferry took us back to the city we continued biking to Pier 39. The kids were amused by the crowded novelty shops and had to check out a few. We were also excited to show Chase and Clara hundreds of blubbering, barking, basking sea lions that reside there, only to discover they had cleared out! A little research informed us that food has become scarce for them in the San Francisco bay and many have migrated to the coast of Oregon as a result. That's unfortunate on many levels. Luckily we'll be in Oregon in a few days so we'll probably see them there. :)<br />
<br />
Our legs were achy, but we peddled our way back to the bike rental drop-off and immediately met up with Shelly, a friend from UT who now lives in CA. We all walked to Ghiradelli Square to eat dinner (and of course we saved room for the ice cream and chocolate). I'm grateful that she made the effort to hang with our wind-blown, ragged bunch tonight. It's always fun to connect with great people!<br />
<br />
The hardest part of the day was waiting in line again to ride the cable car back to our hotel. The sun had set, the temperature plummeted, and we. were. so. tired. The line was over an hour wait so we trekked up another hill to try catching it at another stop. The wait there was (only) 30 minutes, and even then we <i>barely </i>made it on. In fact there was this couple who had walked up to the front of the line right as the cable car approached and tried to hop on before the rest of us who had been waiting, and I was <i>all over</i> that. My kids were a little shocked - I don't think they've seen me get that aggressive before, especially with total strangers! But it worked. The conniving couple was left behind to wait their turn in line and we secured our spot. True Chase and I were packed like sardines on the inside of the car while Brian and Clara dangled from the exterior, but we didn't care!<br />
<br />
One thing we wanted to do with the kids in San Fran was Alcatraz, but tickets are sold out until August 17 so that's not going to happen. We found out that we can get up early tomorrow morning and stand in a line starting at 4:30-5:00 am and try to get tickets that way, but that doesn't sound fun to any of us. Instead we watched a documentary on Alcatraz while the kids were falling asleep. It was perfect. And on that final thought, despite what the documentary 'experts' say, I choose to believe that the three escaped Alcatraz convicts made it. :)<br />

<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Today after packing up and hugging our goodbyes we drove... and drove. Our first stop was to see my Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Liz, Cousin Annette, and her two beautiful children Noah and Isabelle. They live only an hour and a half north of the beach house. I hadn't seen them in so many years, so it was fun to introduce them to my kids, eat lunch together, and catch up on life. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Then we started the second drive of the day, a much longer trek to San Francisco. We took one quick pit stop but other than that we powered straight through. To help pass the time we stopped by a Redbox, I caught up on some work on my laptop, and we started listening to Harry Potter. The only eventful part of the drive was the wildfire we passed just off the side of the road. There were helicopters and an airplane fighting it along with the trucks on the ground. The flames were so close to the road we could feel their heat. We were just glad they hadn't shut down the freeway (yet) or we'd have been stuck for who knows how long. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We were all excited as we finally crossed the bay bridge into San Francisco. There's a contagious energy the city emits. And after booking our hotel super late a couple nights ago without doing much (any) research, we were pleased to find out that it's actually in a great location.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Today we each went our separate ways, which was probably best considering we've got a long drive together tomorrow. Brian and some of the Ebert crew spent most of the day snorkeling in La Jolla cove - with SEALS and/or SEA LIONS (I've been to the aquarium and Sea World enough to know the difference between the two, but for the life of me I can never remember! Whatever they were, they were cool)! Then they stopped for wings at Dirty Birds.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Chase slept a lot, still trying to recover from yesterday's stomach bug. He did venture out a little more this afternoon though. He's becoming a teenager so quickly that sometimes I can't tell if he's feeling tired/sick, or if he's just laying low and sleeping more because that's what teenagers do. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Clara has watched 'Soul Surfer' twice in the last two days and is dying to try surfing. She was feeling well this morning so today she spent most of the day catching waves on a boogie board (we don't have a surfboard here for her to try but I kinda wish we did). She had so much fun! She said she even likes it better than Lagoon and as much as Disneyland. </span><span class="s2">🏄</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I went to the Oceanside farmers market this morning where I picked up some yummy local produce, and to an antique mall this afternoon. Lexee and I have been trying to find a time to test out Facebook Live, but we only had about 15 minutes to peruse the shop and shoot a quick video before they closed. And there were people standing where we wanted to shoot! No pressure at all. To say it was unscripted is an understatement! Unprepared is probably a better description, and the whole thing was very unnerving! Ok enough 'un' words. But seriously, it was a necessary experiment and we learned a lot in our 15 minute crash course. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Tonight we walked over to the Oceanside street market. Every Thursday night they close off a few streets and fill them with vendors, live music, and any type of food you can imagine. It's a fun, crowded, and diverse atmosphere; a stimulating contrast to our secluded beach. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">After tucking in the kids, Brian and I ended the day playing a round of Bohnanza with Heather, Dan, Todd and Lexee. It was late and we were all slightly loopy but it was the perfect way to spend our last night in Oceanside. I love both sides of my family so much and it's been nothing short of wonderful spending this week on the beach with them! </span></div>

We took the Coaster Old Town Dan Siego, toured around a little bit and then bought tickets to the old town trolley tour. It's one of those 'hop-on-hop-off' tours that takes you around the city's top attractions. Brian and I have done it a handful of times as its one of his favorites. In fact we often joke about how he's going to be a trolley tour driver when he retires. He's got some cheesy jokes and historical trivia all ready to go!<br />
<br />
The first stop after Old Town was the Maritime Museum by the harbor. As often as we come to So Cal we'd never been through this museum before so we decided to try it out. It basically consists of seven ships/submarines/ferries each with unique histories. Our favorite was the Russian sub but they were all pretty cool. Then we ate lunch at San Diego's oldest seafood restaurant on the harbor. This may have been the turning point for the rest of the day.<br />
<br />
The trolley took us to Seaport Village next. We were looking for a particular 'color changing' shirt for Michelle, and once we found it we hopped back on the trolley. We skipped the next two stops because we wanted to get to Coronado. Plus Clara had started to complain about being tired and not feeling great, so we figured the 20 minute ride would give her a chance to rest. Coronado island is where Brian and I spent our honeymoon, and we love it there. The beach is fantastic, and the sand actually glitters with gold flecks. The history and architecture of the Hotel Del is pretty fun too. Not long after we got to the beach, Clara started saying she was really feeling sick. We found a bathroom in the hotel, but she wasn't feeling any better. On the way outside she said 'Mom I'm going to be sick and I don't know where to go.' I didn't know either! We weren't near the bathroom any more, we were in the middle of a perfectly manicured garden patio where well dressed people were having drinks and chatting. There was literally no secluded place to get to quickly. We spotted Brian and Chase, and with a look he knew what was going on. He scooped Clara up and ran her over to a garbage can in the hotel lobby. Hotel staff and guests looked sharply out of the corners of their eyes and were not happy. Luckily poor Clara was oblivious to that part. Needless to say everyone was happy when we left! 😳<br />
<br />
Making our way back to the trolley stop took some time, as did driving around the rest of the stops to let people on and off until we finally got back to Old Town. This morning we had planned on eating dinner at one of the yummy Mexican restaurants there, but considering the circumstances we just kept moving, only pausing for Clara to be sick again. After all, we still had to take the Coaster back to Oceanside, which was a 55 minute ride. And by now Chase was feeling ill too. Luckily we spotted a trash can as we boarded the train and he ended up having to use it just minutes into the ride. Yup, that was pretty much our day. Now the plan is to keep them isolated from the cousins, just in case it wasn't the lunch that made them sick. Tomorrow is our last full day in Oceanside and we were planning on snorkeling in la Jolla cove. We'll have to see how we're doing in the morning.<br />
<br />
PS - Turns out Grandpa was up sick last night, and two other cousins have gotten sick today too, so apparently it's wasn't our lunch.<br />

There can't be very many of these around any more. Chase and Clara were so amused. "What's that sound it's making?" Clara asked. Then I tried to explain what a dial tone was, but she just looked at me weird</div>
