Fall Vacation!

We've decided to take a road trip on Fall Break 2011.  The kids have a few days off of school in the fall and Jared will be slowing down at work, so we are going to hop in the car and travel across Wyoming! 

We are going to start in Thermopolis.  I have NEVER been there, but here is a short clip on what there is to do there: 

"Adventure awaits you in Thermopolis, Wyoming, home of the WORLD`S LARGEST MINERAL HOT SPRING.Swim, soak or slide into adventure at one of our spas, filled with the healing waters of the mineral hot spring. Spas feature indoor and outdoor pools, relaxing sauna and steam rooms and huge water slides for the kids.
Visit Hot Springs State Park where the minerals have created the beautiful Rainbow Terraces and other natural wonders. A Buffalo herd in the park bring to life visions of an old west frontier where Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid made Thermopolis a regular stop.Journey back in time at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. Dig alongside a paleontologist at a real dig site or explore the museum where a 108 foot Supersaurus stretches overhead.Ride the waves on a white water rafting trip through Wind River Canyon. Enjoy blue-ribbon trout fishing in the Big Horn River or high up in the mountain streams.Whatever form of adventure you choose, choose to live it in a small town full of big adventure - Thermopolis, Wyoming`s Hot Spot!"

Then we are going to venture to Devil's Tower, WY








Then on to Mt. Rushmore!!



 




 Then we might try some spelunking and zip lines Near Rushmore!! 

















 And who can visit SD without a little CRAZY HORSE... 




Throw a little Bear Country USA in there...

Add a dash of Storybook Island Park...
A little gold diggin' and mine exploration...
Observe a petrified forest...
Visit a wax museum or two (every child should have nightmares from these places, right?!)...
Add a pinch of Miniature Golf...
With a little helping of Sturgis...
Then back to Sheridan, WY to see some favorite cousins and their new baby!!  These should be the ingredients for a pretty fun ROAD TRIP...

Wanna come?  I truly can't wait...but better save some "dough" between now and then to make a perfect Road Trip "Cake"!!  Can't wait to report...stay posted for the final recipe!
