This is the first year since opening KAQ that we've taken several vacations and I'm pretty sure there is one more in our future for 2018.
We started off with our May trip to Seattle; you can go back to the
May post to refresh your memory.
This trip happened on the heels of my trip to the
Spring Quilt Market in Portland. Combining business with pleasure ~ perfect combo.
Next up was the June
Quilters Cruise. I'm pretty sure this is when I fell off the blogging train. This again was a work/vacation combo.
In July I took a quick trip to see my mom and friends in North Carolina...I never tire of spending time with lifelong friends and my mother.
And that brings us to August ~ Andrew, and I've been planning a trip to see our friends in Bozeman for a year, and the time finally arrived. We hopped on a plane in Virginia and landed in Minneapolis Minnesota and hit the road in our rental car and within hours we landed in Sioux Falls SD...we didn't see much of Sioux Falls because after spending the night we hit the road to our first real destination, Rapid City, SD. I've heard about Rapid City for years, starting with Jackie that worked at KAQ for seven years and lately from our friend Mike.

We sure don't let grass grow under our feet when we are on the road because we left South Dakota and headed to Wyoming to see
Devils Tower National Monument.

We left Devils Tower and headed to Buffalo Wyoming for the night.
