Journey of a Lifetime
We left Becca and Travis’s at 8 a.m. in Portland and drove all day to get to San Francisco. The drive for the most part was luscious green mountains and beautiful. We also got to see Mount Shasta and Lake Shasta. They were both awesome to see and the weather got warmer as we got … Read more
We left Rexburg and stopped off in Twin Falls Idaho to see the Shoshone Waterfalls and the temple there. It was really beautiful. We then went to Boise to have some lunch at Gyro Shack. It was really good and full of flavor. While trying to get back to the highway to continue to Washington … Read more

Urgent Care in Cleveland Monday morning we woke up and got ready for a long day at Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world).
