Heading west from home...
there's not much traffic, but not much to look at.
Not to mention, there are
very few places to stop to take care of creature comforts.
We had lunch at Drifters Bar & Grille,
one of hubby's favorite places to eat in Fort Pierre.
We were on our way to Denver.
Hubby was going to participate in the Regional Tax Conference.
He was also invited to present at one of the sessions.
Weeks ago, he asked me if I would like to ride along.
I took one look at my August calendar. Well...
"Yes, Honey. I'd love to go!"
When going on a road trip, after a certain age,
it is important to stop often to get out of the car and walk around.
(Otherwise, your legs get stiff and your back starts to hurt!)
There was this Car Show in Hot Springs.
Impressivie vintage automobiles...
against a beautiful backdrop.
Next state...Wyoming.
More of the same...
grassland and cows.
Finally, after 650 miles in the car,
we checked into Cheyenne's Historic Plains Hotel.
It was a great way to kick off our trip into the
Olde West.
Apparently, we weren't the only ones
that thought so.
There were guests from all parts if the world.
Were they all traveling on to Casper
to view the eclipse??
After a good night's sleep and complementary hot breakfast,
we were on the road again.
Thank you Cheyenne,
for your fine hospitality.
Take care,
~Natalie
p.s. stay tuned for more pictures of our trip to the Olde West.

A road trip is a much more exciting thing than being at school, either as teacher or as a student.
Isn't it great to be able to do what you want when you want to do it? I love being able to go on vacation in the fall, instead of having to cram everything in over the summer!
