Day 25 – The last day!
I woke up and got on the road around 7am. Today, I had 8-9 hours of driving. In my first few hours I could definitely feel the effects from the day before. I had strange muscles that were sore like my forearm from holding the steering wheel and tiny spot in my shin from the…

Day 24 – The Long Drive
I got up early at 5am and was on the road by 5:30am. My goal was to get east of Minneapolis before rush hour, which worked great. My goal for the day was to get to Cleveland (~12 hours) so I would have a reasonable drive the next day. I was into Wisconsin in no…

Day 23 – Work Day & Soccer
Today is a work day for me. I hung around the house for the day and was able to work while spending some time with Erin and the twins who were home for the day. Brandon wasn’t around because he actually had to work. I got some lunch out and almost awkwardly had to tell…

Day 22 – Minnesota!
I started the morning in Bismarck, ND and just needed to go a little west of Minneapolis. It was actually a short day, only 6 hours or so of driving. Unfortunately, I also looked at the drive from Minneapolis -> Home and realized it’s ~22 hours instead of the 16 that I thought it was.…

Day 21 – Home Sweet Home
After only a handful of hours of sleep we got up and got out of the hotel as quickly as possible. We had a makeshift breakfast out of the food we still had left and what we can actually do in a limited hotel room. After feeding the kids quickly we were on the road…

Day 20 – Our Last Day of Adventures
We woke up early today and checked out of St. Mary Village. The night before I had noticed a cafe nearby that had nutella croissants. Brooke had her first one in Sicily last year and has talked about them several times since then. So, in the morning I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and Jaclyn/Brooke split…

Day 19 – A Birthday Bear and Moose!
Happy Birthday Jaclyn! Today is Jaclyn’s birthday and we get to go on a boat ride in Many Glacier which was one of the things she was looking forward to the most. Jaclyn started her day off by going for a run while I gave the kids breakfast and got them ready for the day.…

Day 18 – Canmore and back to the US!
Today was an early start to the day since Beckett woke up around 5:45. Jay was working remotely today, and had to start at 6am anyway due to the time difference. We are fortunate that Jay was able to take so much time off work for this trip and only had to schedule in a…

Day 17 – Lake Louise and Moraine Lake
Today was one of the days that Jay and I were most stressed about because of the logistics involved in seeing the two most popular lakes in Bannf. We almost booked shuttle tickets through a local company, but Jay did a lot of research and ended up getting us park-and-ride shuttle tickets to Louise and…

Day 16 – Grassi Lakes & Bow River Float
We’re staying in a town named Canmore, which is just south of the town of Banff (not to be confused with Banff National Park, which Banff is in but Canmore is not). Jaclyn and I have totally fallen in love with Canmore. It’s a perfect size town that is pretty much walkable and it very…
