A couple weeks ago Jeff and Andy started making noise about wanting to take a road trip to California. Â Paul and I talked it over and we told the boys that they could take the trip, but two conditions had to be met first:
1. Â They had to take the trip north to Montana
2. Â Mom had to be sitting in the back seat
We had a great time traveling to Jackson Wyoming and then up to West Yellowstone Montana, hitting the Rexburg Temple, BYU Idaho, the Playmill Theatre (Where I was an actor the summer of 1987), and most of the west side of Yellowstone Park in the process.
It was a great time with my two boys and I am so glad we said yes. Â I truly tried to stay a fly on the wall as Jeff did most of the driving and I just offered little bits of Motherly advice….like, “Hey Boys, A blizzard is blowing outside the tent and we have no source of heat…maybe we should bail and find a motel room.”
As I tried to get warm the third night of our trip with a blizzard blowing and ice caking on the inside of the tent walls I had the thought that I could wake up to 2 dead teenagers in the morning.
So that night we stayed at the Best Western in West Yellowstone and then upgraded from the tent site to a cabin at the KOA. Â It was a once in a lifetime trip that I will never forget. Â I made a short You Tube Video hosted below and all of the photos and video are hosted at One True Media.
