This was a wet day! We were SO glad that our hiking day was yesterday! We left the fair town of Medora in the morning and began our trek eastward. We stopped in Dickinson at the Ukrainian Cultural Institute. I really had no idea what to expect but it was really interesting. My Grandpa Moldenhauer’s …
Theodore Roosevelt National Park – South Unit
We spent our first full day in North Dakota exploring Theodore Roosevelt National Park! We started off at the Visitor’s Center and took a tour of Theodore Roosevelt’s “Maltese Cross Cabin”. We learned a lot about Theodore Roosevelt’s life and what brought him to the Dakotas. Even more important though was maybe learning what impact …
Journey to Medora
We are so excited to FINALLY get another family trip under our belt. We started our trek to North Dakota late one night. We didn’t leave until 7ish because we were waiting for Mark to get off of work and load the car and the like. We drove to Rawlins, Wyoming just to give us …
Minnetonka Cave
Jacob was so excited to go to Minnetonka Cave! When we told him we were going he could NOT stop talking about it. He was thrilled at the idea of going into a cave {like a bear} and of seeing bats. He could NOT stop talking about the bats! The cave was super fun and …
Mesa Falls
We decided to go up to Mesa Falls in the Island Park area! It was a beautiful day and being out in nature always seems to recharge all of us. The only bad thing was that it was very BUGGY. Oh my goodness, we just got eaten alive. Well, they only pestered everyone else but …
Yellowstone Bear World
We checked out Yellowstone Bear World! We had been to a park that was similar to this back in South Dakota on our family trip and even though the drive-around part was definitely better at the one we went to before I felt like they had so many other things as well that made it …
Museum of Idaho
We went and explored the Museum of Idaho – right here in Idaho Falls! main exhibit right now is called “Hatching the Past: The Search for Dinosaur Eggs and Babies”. It was so interesting. Mark and I were both really impressed with the exhibit and the best thing about it was that it was so …
SAN FRANCISCO
For Mark and I’s fifth anniversary we took a trip to San Francisco – JUST THE TWO OF US! It was so much fun and we loved our week there. It was Mark’s first time and I loved being able to share some of my favorite parts of this city with him. To read up …
The Walt Disney Family Museum
After walking around the Presidio, we went to the Walt Disney Family Museum. This was really interesting. It was definitely a more adult museum {I would not recommend it for young children} – which we were expecting – but I was surprised at how much information there was! We thought this would be an hour …
Golden Gate Bridge & the Presidio
This day felt like we slowed down a little bit and it felt nice! We slept in – which meant that we woke up at 7:20 {thanks kids for ruining our ability to sleep!} and lazied about getting ready. We then hopped back over to the Golden Gate Bridge. Mark wanted to walk out onto …
