As we left Focus on the Family at noon we only had a 6.5 hour drive to our next stop in Rock Springs, WY. We’d hoped for a nice dinner, time to swim, and bedtime by 9 P.M. It was supposed to be easy. But it wasn’t.
Traffic.
A 20-minute stop that turned into 55 minutes thanks to – traffic.
Construction.
Some SERIOUS wind in WY that had us drop our speeds for more than an hour.
It was after 8 P.M MT when we finally dragged our bodies into Applebees. Lunch had been more made-in-the-car sandwiches. It was steaks and shrimp all around, but we were almost too tired to enjoy it.
We got into our Homewood Suites at 9-something P.M. The service at this one was excellent and the hotel was beautiful. I didn’t think to take any photos as the kids scurried to get their swim suits on and I made camp. Katriel cried when John took the older 5 to swim, but I had planned to put her down. However, I realized we had left Minnie Mouse in the car. So instead, she and I watched something called Doc McStuffins until John and the kids came back. It was kind of cute.
They returned. John collected Minnie. Kids were asleep when their heads hit the pillows.
Wyoming is pretty. I’ve heard about their winters, however. I’m not sure I could live here.
