It's nice to fly to Montana and get there after half a day of traveling, but I have to admit driving was fun! We got to see family that we rarely see, and parts of the country that we'd never seen before. We stopped at places that otherwise we'd never go, like an extinct volcano in the northeastern corner of New Mexico. After convincing the kids that lava would not be spewing and endangering our lives, we started our drive up the volcano. No guardrails and a very narrow road made for an extremely nervous Momma! But we made it! The rangers gave the kids booklets to complete activities while exploring the volcano and after completing they were awarded honorary ranger badges and certificates.

This was really a neat stop that everyone enjoyed! I mean, how often do you get to drive up a volcano and then walk down into it? We drove on to Wichita Falls, TX and spent the night there. We made it home the next day, July 22, 15 days after we left! What a journey! Can't wait to see what we'll find on our next road trip!
