Where do I begin? From the beginning.


I know this is a month late...but life has finally settled down enough to give you all a blow by blow of our vacation. Okay, fine--that sounds boring. How about a tour of highlights (and low)? Better?

First of all, you need to know where we were going: Glacier National Park.

When I mentioned this to my daughter's Doctor during an appointment wayyy back in July she innocently asked:

You're flying, right?

Nope.

You should've seen her jaw hit the floor.

Road trip baby! We're the Baker's...we were made for road trips!

Just so you know: Glacier National Park is in western Montana running all the way up into Canada. Our trip was going to take us 1,377 miles one way or a little over 21 hours of driving. On the way out we planned to stop in Salt Lake City over night and then go on to Kalispell, Montana for the next night. From there, Kalispell is just a short hop to the park. We wanted to make sure that we were well rested and ready to set up camp when we arrived. We were going to camp for 7 nights in Glacier and return to civilization. So there. That's the boring backstory. Are you ready for some adventure? You'll have to read our next post!
