  • Our Bison Neighbors

    May 28, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 50 °F

    What a full day…incredible experiencing so much of all that Yellowstone has to offer. Funny, tho, our resort doesn’t have wifi - and no cell service either - and a couple of our guys have homework due tonight…. So we just sat amazed at the Buffalo on the grounds, right outside our cabin! (And we are right outside the East entrance of the park, so we are sure spoiled in this historic place.)Read more

  • Old Faithful

    May 29, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    Thinking about Yellowstone, Old Faithful is normally the first thing people think about (us, too!). And the crowds were out for the show…. Very sweet. What a beautiful inn as well - and the ice cream hit the spot.Read more

  • Thanks Jeanette and Matt!

    May 29, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    A true highlight at Yellowstone was having gps directed audio tour (which was a gift from some dear friends!). You can not over prepare for this massive National Park, so utilizing the app was the Best! Grateful…and have some animal pix from today…and guidance about your cell phone outside an out house! Ha haRead more

  • Wait, Jennifer Coolidge is here?????

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Woke up things morning and realized something was missing…

    While some things remain appropriately confidential on the boys road trip, but there were some comic bits that were A+ for effort! Like Harry’s Jennifer Coolidge impression and some story line involving tv cartoon characters trying to aura-farm the Pope (Chris had to look out up…definition attached).

    Barrel of monkeys…truly!

  • Big Sky!

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    Although we didn’t get to explore Montana very much, it was stupendous to observe such beautiful creation in the state. And some curiosities as well! (not to mention some incredible hefty sandwiches from The Pickle Barrel - thank you, Logan Weber for the recommendation!)Read more

  • Ice cream in Missoula

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    Harry is struggling to smile since he goes to the rival school…. but Missoula was a great visit, we enjoyed the ice cream and it was cool seeing kids surfing in the river! (Chris found out later that there was a good chance that one of those surfers was the child of a lifelong friend who lives here! Small world after all.)

    True story, The Big Dipper is some amazing ice cream.

  • For Meier…with love!

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    The boys have really been missing their friend Meier, who had to stay in Seattle because he has a part in His school’s production of Hadestown (which we will see tomorrow night as the last event of our road trip!). But Meier made a special request, and we’re bringing him food back from the only Chili’s restaurant in the state of Washington!

    Can’t wait to finish our big excursion, enjoying your performance, friend.

  • Fun and Fries in Spokane

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Not only was a lovely night to walk and see the Spokane Falls and other parts of the Riverfront Park, we also had a delightful connection with Tony and Kathryn. Thanks for coming into town and getting Zips with us - and grateful for you hosting us in your home later overnight.Read more

  • Family Business and Campfire Time

    May 30, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 64 °F

    After returning back to the Inman house, we finally brought out Family Business, one of the Lyons, families’s favorite card games (Tony remembers playing at that youth group back in the day.). Not only were there many gangster, impressions, and moments of backstabbing, there was also tons of laughter!

    In addition, our dear friends, prepped some material for making s’mores over the campfire for us tonight.

    Perfect last night on our trip!

  • Final Tally on the Alphabet Game

    May 31, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    When fact is stranger than fiction… we chose that we would play 50 alphabet games, and only play 51 if we were tied 25–25.

    Well, we played our 51st game today heading north out of Spokane… And between Davenport and Wilbur Washington, Chris won the tiebreaker!

    Sadly, I think we only saw one Q in 50 miles… Tough tough competition, pretty fun times!
