Day 2543 – Road Trip Part 4 – Devil’s Tower To Montana

We stayed the night in Custer and it was a great break from the drive. So nice to sleep in a bed…even though we normally sleep on the floor. In the morning, we made our way into Wyoming.

After that, we went to Devil’s Tower. Such a cool place.

If you’ve been to Devil’s Tower, you know about those Prairie Dogs!

We decided to call it a night in Montana so we’d be fresh for Yellowstone. We caught an amazing sunset!

Everything is bigger in Montana, even the wishes!

South Dakota as a state is really beautiful to drive through!

We stopped at a little western town, but it cost to go into the town itself. We did however grab coffee in the train car restaurant! So cool!

Our next stop was The Badlands. Oh what a beautiful place!

Day 2539 – Road Trip Part 1 – Baltimore to Philly to PA to Chicago

On Friday, we started the first leg of our journey across the country. Our first stop was a concert in Philly with friends. This drive should only take about an hour and a half without traffic, that day, it took us about 3 hours. Oy. I was not happy.

So, after a rough start, we decided to give up driving all together. Thanks to our friends, we got to quit….at least for a few hours. 🙂

Then we rocked out to our favs – Thrice. What a great show! Both of us were in the pit most of the show.

But then I decided to move to the front. Dudes, it’s more intense up there than the pit! But I got some great photos!

It was a really cool venue!!

After the show, we drove back to our friends’ house. Ok, these two are some of our favorite people. Kenny and Naomi have been instrumental in our relationship and marriage. They are never afraid to ask hard questions and be encouraging. AND they are very hospitable! These two cut up mangoes and heated up chili at ONE in the morning…AFTER letting us take showers. It was a great start to our trip! We love you guys!!

We drove through the night, both of us drove and got a chance to sleep a bit. We were pretty energized the next morning!

IMG_3043

Ok, well, I was at least. 🙂

Then we stopped for breakfast/lunch near the other side of PA. I’m really glad we did sandwiches in the cooler! It was a great way to save money, an easy fix and quite delicious.

We made it to Chicago in the evening on Saturday. There were lots of fun things to see!

We, of course, had to have a deep dish pizza in Chicago!

On our way to the car, we saw this outdoor concert! Pretty nifty!
