Good morning from Denver, Colorado!!!
We are up to head into Rocky Mountain National Park! We have a 9am entry time and it’s an hour and a half from our hotel so we had an early wake up!!
It was worth it though! The park wasn’t crowded at all and we entered it without any lines. The day before it had been sleeting, hailing and raining in the park but not today it was beautiful and sunny out!!
We decided to take the Trail Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitor center and view the sites and see the amazing creation of God!
Our first look out was magnificent!!
Words cannot even begin to describe the beauty, so I am not even gonna try!
We also saw a few wildlife, elk, pika and marmots!
One marmot even tried to visit Bree in the car!
When we got to the visitor center we did a little souvenir shopping and enjoyed lunch at 11,000 feet!
On the way back down into town the girls finished their junior ranger books and received their badges at the bottom!! Ryanna says you are never to old to do the junior ranger activity and that made me smile! I love watching them be kids! 
We also got our picture at two miles above sea level!
After a gorgeous morning/afternoon in the park we still had quite the journey ahead of us!
We had to go north out of Colorado and then West through almost all of Wyoming before entering Idaho and traveling a few more miles!
We traveled all evening and chased the sun as we headed west through Wyoming. When we finally reached the border of Idaho it was 10 pm! It had been a very long fun day and now it was time to finish daddy’s states!!
We did it!!! All 50 states for all 4 of us!!! This is something I told myself I wanted to do for my family. I wanted them to visit all the states in this great nation, 🇺🇸 then they can travel the world.
I think seeing our nation is so important, there are so many amazing beautiful things here in the USA that Americans never get to see! Even though we’ve visited all 50 states there is still so much we haven’t seen!
The journey of a thousand miles, begins with just one step!
