I’ve mentioned before, the Joys usually don’t take things slow and easy! We rise with the sun and fall when we can’t go anymore. So imagine this….8 States in 9 days. We drove over 3,000 miles, explored 6 different national parks, stayed at a wolf sanctuary, chilled at a water park, and went glamping! Glamping you say? I know. It’s not REAL camping. But before this trip, I would not have considered REAL camping!! No not me! But let me just say, I fell in LOVE! The beautiful views, the fresh air, the animals. and the raging waterfalls……I could go on and on.  I did actually lose my mind and I just took it all in and I do believe I found my soul! Normally I am a Nervous Nelly in the woods where there are snakes, bears and all the other creatures that belong there live…. but the more we hiked the more I wanted to soak up every bit of the experience. Glacier National park was the one that hooked me. I have never seen the sky so blue and mountains so majestic.
