Road Trip Time Day 33 - Moriarty, NM to Home

 Good Morning!  Guess what?  The interstate is open again.  Can you believe that I40 was backed up for 18-20 hours.  Oh man.  Some of the pictures from online were crazy.  So glad we hopped off and got some sleep.  We don't get a crazy early start, but by the time we get to Amarillo, it's 1:00 and I want food.  I have looked up a brewery in the area and take us to it.  It turns out to be the cheesiest tourist trap in Texas.  Mister just shakes his head at me and in we go.  I had no idea, honest.  We wait for a seat at the bar and as soon as one opens up, we order and I decide to walk a bit and take some pictures.  I mean if we're going to be touristy, let's do it up right.

This is a Route 66 Roadside Attraction.  The Big Texas Steak Ranch is the home of the "free 72oz. steak" and this place has been feeding hungry travelers since 1960.  Crazy, right?

Road Trip Time Day 32 - Provo to Moriarty, NM

 Welcome to July.  With today's arrival, we were not in our house a single day in June.  Woah.  I knew this going in, but it's pretty strange for the entire month to have passed just like that.  Today, we are beginning the final trek home.  About an hour and a half into our drive, we come to Helper, UT and take a side trip to check it out as it lists coffee being available.  What a fun little town.  Come along and share a step into the past with us.  It's pretty much a Main Street U.S.A town surrounded by bluffs.

Road Trip Time Day 20 - Provo Day 2

 After a good night's sleep, I am back at Cassie's while Mister works.   Breakfast is once again underway and then the plans for the day can begin.  After discovering that a local bounce house pop-up is on it's last day here, our decision is made.  Unfortunately, we are not able to get in until around noon and the day is cooker.  In the meantime, we're off to get everyone ready to go.  When we arrive - excite reigns and everyone is off to play.

Road Trip Time Day 19 - Provo Day 1

 An early morning grocery run for Mister happens and then Cassie calls to say they are all awake.  Mister has to stay in the AirBNB and work until this afternoon, but I'm off to play.  Hello grands!

Road Trip Time - Bigfork Days 15 -17 and Day 18 Trip to Provo

 Our trip is winding down this week and we're trying to get as much time in with family as we can.  This afternoon is a lake moment with Jill and family.  Meeting down at Mackenzie River Pizza gives us a chance to just relax and have more time with our greats.  I want each and every one of these minutes I can grab.  Grandpa and Greyson are out exploring.

Road Trip Time - Bigfork Days 9 - 14

 We have hit the 19th of the month.  Almost three weeks in and still going strong.  I did a little sewing today and then we went to the Monday Market in downtown Bigfork for some early evening relaxation.  I love that it is right by the river and has such great atmosphere.

Road Trip Time - Bigfork Day 8 Rhiana's Visit Ends - Soccer and a Baby Fawn on Father's Day

 It's Day 9 of our trip and we are once again preparing for soccer games.  Fortunately, today is not near as icky out so a bit less clothing is required, but it's still chilly.  Now to get these girls moving.
