Back to life, back to reality...
We've been back from our road trip vacation for 2 weeks now and life has been busy. But, I figured I should at least begin blogging about our great trip to Wisconsin and back. We set out early on a Saturday morning at the end of June. Within 45 minutes of getting on the road, Ellie announced, "I have to go potty!" So, she received a lesson in "squatting" in the woods--which by the way she refused to do!! That squatting lesson turned out to be a blessing, as many times on our 2 week road trip we said, "Ellie, you can either squat or hold it until we find a real potty!"
We had great family time along the way. It was really fun to see the different scenery as we travelled through the beautiful mountains of Northern Idaho and Montana (might I add that Montana is a very wide state to drive through!!). We saw some funny road signs including "Bad Route Road" and "Crazy Woman Creek."
As I begin to unpack the memories from our summer vacation, I'd like to share our checklist and goals.

Sounds like a great trip! Hope things are well for you.
I love the Squat or Wait lesson!! Also love the number of eclairs.. That's good driving food!
Not just any eclairs, though. These are from National Bakery in Milwaukee. We're talking fresh custard - creamy dessert. These are way more than simply road-worthy - we're talking some of the best bakery treats around. Very tasty indeed!
You timed it to the minute? That's dedication! Sounds like you guys made some great family memories out on the road. And got some tasty treats to go with them. Yum!
