Vacation 2011 Day 1

We planned a great vacation this year…we headed to Glacier National Park in Northwestern Montana.  It’s a long drive up there!  Especially with a prego momma and a potty training two year old.  But we all did great!  We took lots of little stops along the way to eat snacks, play football, and use the potty chair at the rest areas.  Casper was so good! 

Day 1 we left Missouri and headed through Kansas to Lyman Colorado.  We stopped at Cabela’s in Kansas City for a last minute supply stop – we needed a good cooler!  We also stopped at several rest areas.  Around Hays Kansas the car started making some interesting noises…the fuel pump sounded like it was going out.  We picked up a new fuel pump and the appropriate tools, just in case.  Fortunately, we made it the whole trip with no problems.  Chris ran a little gas cleaner through the tank and it was fine.  We returned the fuel pump on the way home!

Here’s our only picture from Day 1.  Shortly after Casper was born, we started taking his picture at the sign for every state he has traveled.  I think he’s up to 13 states already!  We missed Kansas and caught that sign on the way home.  We should have taken a picture of the temperature gauge in Kansas, it was at 118 degrees!!  It’s no surprise that we just kept on driving…
