Monday, September 2 – Labor Day Words cannot adequately describe the beauty that we experienced today! We woke up very early to catch the first shuttle to Lake Louise. There were a very limited amount of tickets and with so many people, we wanted to be sure we didn’t miss it. When we arrived, it …

A Life of Faith is the Greatest Adventure of All
Sunday, September 1 We slept well in our first hostel. We were in a 4 person room with a young couple from Germany. They were very quiet and kind and spoke English very well. Anna was funny – she walked up to the sink and said, “where’s the soap?”. Lol – Hostels don’t typically provide …

Crawford Bay to Banff National Park
Saturday, August 31 We slept great in our pristine, beautifully furnished apartment and headed into town to find Red’s Bakery where we were told we would locate the best fresh raspberry scones and kolaches for miles. It did not disappoint! The people in this tiny town are very laid back and relaxed. This town reminds …
Cardston to Nelson, BC
Friday, August 30 Before leaving Cardston, I realized that we would be crossing Canada without our GPS. I spent some time in the morning pouring over the maps so we would be familiar with the road ahead. We left Cardston so grateful to have made new friends and met a distant relative. Brother Cahoon is …
Wait…Are We Related?
Thursday, August 29 I worked all morning and then we had a temple session scheduled with Brother Cahoon in the early afternoon. He made all of the arrangements for us to do our male ancestors endowments and sealings. It was a very sacred and special day. We discovered by accident (through Family Tree) that he …
Billings, Montana to Cardston, Canada

Rugged, with so much character, like the country in that area. The interior is so unusual. There are skylights in the middle of …

Loving South Dakota
Monday, August 26 We are so happy to see mountains and feel the cool, dry air! It has been a magnificent day. We found a fantastic room (suite) that included a full size refrigerator and freezer, a dishwasher, a partitioned work space and two queen beds. We have access to a washer and dryer and …
Kansas City to Omaha
August 24-25, 2019 It has been a wonderful couple of days on the road. We are off to a great start! Anna and I arrived in Omaha, Nebraska with excitement and high expectations. We had heard that there was a historical visitor’s center at the Winter Quarter’s temple. The temple was small and “tucked” …
Louisville to Kansas City
August 23, 2019 Anna and I finished all of our packing and cleaning and after a tearful goodbye and last hug on Capri (our dog), we ventured out on our 3 week road trip to take her back to BYUI . As the miles between us and Louisville grew by the hour, I felt increased …
