Checking things off

I'm sure everyone has their list of places to see once in a lifetime. In august, I got to check off quite a few of these places after 30 years, while Brooks checked them off after only 7 months! We took an amazing road trip with Nana Paula and Grandpa Phil to the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone National Park, Old Faithful, Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. (all in just 6 days!)
Brooks was a superstar on his first roadtrip, and as you can see from the picture below, he brought the most luggage for the trip! (only one small bag was Phil's!)
Thanks Paula & Phil for a great adventure!

Brooks thought it was funny that we had to carry all his stuff!
The Black Hills and Mount Rushmore


Rushmore isn't stroller friendly for the whole tour (good to know if you're planning a trip), but Brooks loves the snuggli and enjoyed the tour.

Devil's Tower National Monument



Yellowstone National Park


Mammoth Hot Springs


Geysers at Yellowstone
Such beautiful colors! and a geyser just for Brooks - the "Infant Geyser"

Old Faithful

Grand Teton National Park


Jackson Hole, Wyoming

WOW What a great trip... and yes, lucky Brooks for already getting to check those once-in-a-lifetime places off his list! Thanks for sharing these pictures so the rest of us can live vicariously through you for now!
