Vacation

Wow, what a vacation. If you are ever in doubt about beauty take a trip through Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota. The skies really are bigger there. Our trip started in Nashville and then we drove to St. Louis, MO and spent the night. The next day we drove to Sioux Falls, SD and spent the night. The next day we drove through the badlands and the blackhills of SD and stopped by Mt. Rushmore on our way to Deadwood, SD. The next day we drove to a little cabin just across the border in Montana for the night in a very tiny town. The next day we headed into Yellowstone National Park and then it was off to Estes Park, CO. We spent the night in Estes Park and then ventured into Estes Park and then drove to Wichitia, KS for the night. We got up the next morning and drove to Norman, OK home of the OU Sooners! and drove down to the Chickasaw Indian Reservation in Tishomingo, OK to see some of my family heritage and history. We then drove to Sherman, TX and spent the night. The next day we ventured down to Irving, TX and visited with my Uncle and Aunt and my Dad and cousins before the big game: The Red River Shootout between OU and TX. TX got the better end this year and ended up being ranked number one in the nation for beating us and we dropped down to four. The final day was Sunday and we drove home. This doesn't cover the specifics, but I might provide those details from my personal journal that I took along. Until then remember that God truly does know the plans that He has for us according to Jer 29:11!
