We Passed The Test!

(Barry filling in again today.)

There is not a lot to report today. Our goal for today is to travel from one location (Yellowstone/Grand Teton area) to our next location (Colorado Springs). About halfway between those two locations is Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Steamboat Springs is mostly known for its skiing in the wintertime. Obviously, there not much of that going on right now.

So, we made that drive today. We spent the first part of our day in the Wyoming highlands around 6,000 feet in elevation. We could see snow covered mountain ranges on our east and west. It was beautiful. We spent the rest of the day traveling backroads and finally made our way to Steamboat Springs.

We actually had one more goal for today. Tabatha is taking a class this summer that is going towards her teaching certification. Unfortunately, her mid-term exam fell during this week of the trip. She's been studying off and on during the trip, but performed a "cramming session" today while we drove. When we got to Steamboat Springs, the kids and I left her alone in the hotel room and went downtown to walk around. About 90 minutes later, we got the call she had successfully passed her exam and that she was ready for dinner. So, we picked her up and went out to eat.

We've had a pretty hard schedule during this trip, but the last three days are much more relaxed. So, we are looking forward to sleeping in a little, then making our way to Colorado Springs tomorrow. I haven't been to "The Springs" in a few years. I used to travel out here a good bit on a former job. I'll be glad to spend some time out there when I don't have report to work every morning.

We didn't very many pictures today, so I'll leave you with a picture from yesterday. However, this picture was sent to us from Alabama. Nick, a friend of ours from home, was able to capture our family yesterday as we waved at the web-camera in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I guess it is digital proof that we are actually here.

Until tomorrow…..
