I know. I know. I'm terrible at blogging. No surprise there. I am, however, determined to re-birth this blog for the summer. The Stout's are headed on a journey to the Pacific Northwest. This is a timely adventure as we have just finished a year of American History, geography, etc. The kids (and I) have learned all the states and capitals and many features of US geography. We will be taking about a week to drive out/back. Some of the locations on our journey are The Grand Canyon, Park City, UT, Boise, Idaho (Roaring Springs-a top 10 water park). While in Washington we hope to enjoy the Pacific coast, drive into Canada, and spend time in the city of Seattle. On the trip back we hope to hit Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Schlitterbahn (a Kansas City water park). Who knows what else we might get into along the way. Here we go....!!
