We took a fall break road trip through Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota with the kids and Jen & her 3 youngest kids. It was a blast. I have always wanted to see Mt. Rushmore and we took a scenic route so that we could knock a few more states off our states list. Day one we drove from South Weber to Rocky Mountain National Park, except we took a really roundabout oopsie way and added 3 hours to our drive. OOOOPS. We survived! Our airbnb had a massive herd of elk right outside, roaming the neighborhood and driveways. It was crazy.
Day two we toured Rocky Mountain National Park and picked up Hals, who had flown into Denver and taken a van to the park. She had a student body event the night before she could not miss. Rocky Mountain was really pretty and cool to see, but lacked a bit of the WOW factor of places like Glacier, Yosemite, and Grand Teton. We still very much enjoyed ourselves and because it was a bit colder, the lack of crowds was great!

| We figured out how to travel with Flor. Front seat, ipad, good views, no one to touch...and anytime we went downhill, she thought she was on a ride. Win/Win! |
 |
| Gotta show what states we traveled to! |
 |
| 15 passenger van for the win! With the back seat open for our snacks and luggage! |
