How can there only be 2 states left?

The Kyllo's are on the road again!

We left Hopkins about 9:30 tonight, and after two stops back at home for some forgotten items, we are headed west to Sundance, Wyoming.  Sundance is not far from the South Dakota border, which is not far from the 75th anniversary celebration of the Sturgis motorcycle rally. When we planned the trip back in December I didn't realize that the Sturgis rally was opening this weekend, with more than a million people and their motorcycles, leather jackets, bandanas, booze and tattoos expected to converge on the area, my first thought was to find a different stopping point, but then I thought, "Ahh, what the heck, it might just blow the kids mind!!"  After all, they have been on the Vegas strip at midnight on the 4th of July, walked down streets lined with abandon buildings at 10:00 at night in Buffalo NY, been on Hollywood Blvd and exposed to scores of other questionable situations, so what could shock them at a motorcycle rally?

We have only two states left to complete our journey, Utah and Washington State. We'll take our time making our way west this week and will be staying in a home in Port Townsend, WA for a week, and then making our way back home east through Glacier National Park (if it hasn't burned completely down) and Big Sky, Montana. 

We are all so excited to be back it!  It's our favorite time of the year!

We decided to start out our drive by doing an overnight in an attempt to avoid SOME of the traffic heading west. The kids watched a movie and are now falling asleep. Ahhhhhhh.....peaceful bliss.
