Hey guys!!!! Sarah here posting her first blog!! It only took me 9 days! Well were driving another super long stretch right now, from the badlands to Chicago. We had to break it up into two days, cause it's about 14 hours...make a trip to mo-town look like cake!!!!!!

Well, typical Sarah, I decided to go for a morning swim at the koa in the badlands. I was on my 5th lap, came up for air, was turning around for my 6th and saw a snake in the pool!!!!!! Lite rally less than an arms length away from Me!!!! I freaked out, and funny enough all the girls were walking passed me to go breakfast and saw the whole thing! Needless to say, that was the end of my swim! I might be used to the idea if snakes when I'm at my lake house but really don't EVER see them. Gross!!!!!!

The badlands were amazing, if you dont know about them, google it! Theyre gorgeous! mt rushmore was cool, but we all expected it to be a LOT bigger. Were thinking if it had been at night it would have looked slightly more impressive. Nonetheless, it was quite extraordinary to see a national monument of that merit.

The KOA we stayed at in mt rushmore was amazing!!! It had a jumping pillow, pool, laundry, brand new showers, a pizza place, horse r ides, pancake breakfast, a pub, arts and crafts and a water slide. But NO cell service....but we had wifi, which is always a bonus!! We tyedyed shirts and ended up dunking our hair in the dye!!! Don't worry mom, were thinking it's going to wash out!!!! :-)

We made some pretty great stops on our route from rushmore to the badlands. Including bear country, and old macdonalds farm. Linds got to see the pig race but molls and I just barely missed it!!

Yesterday we stopped at the corn palace, MAN, that place....I don't really have words. It's cool, but pretty hyped up!!!!

So, were in our last weekend, as I said headed to Chicago for the night. Were staying in a hotel, not rv park, and were all really excited for a goooood shower. And to shave our legs!!

We've been collecting some really cool souvenirs from all the super awesome places we've gone. We've been collecting coozies from all kind of random places. It's almost like a game now.

We miss everyone like nuts, but this is seriously the trip of a lifetime, and we never want it to end.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Love from the rv

**Sarah g**

That was mollie btw.

Driving through bad lands right now. It's so crazy!! Listening to This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land. What a classic! It's our last weekend on the road. I'm really sad about it for the first time. I find myself wondering what I'm going to do when it's over. Although we have only been gone three weeks it feels like this is all i've ever done. The real world seems so far away. When it's really over I'll go back to reality a changed person. with a more open mind and heart. America is so beautiful and mind blowing. We are all so lucky to call it home.

We are winging it tonight. Stoping at the first place we think is cool. Then to Chicago for our last night!! Stay stylin east cost. See ya soon!!!

We went horseback riding in roosevelt yesterday, soo fun! Headed to mt. Rushmore now! Miss yall so much xoxo ~ hef

Quote of the day... "I'm 20% sure, 70% not sure" ~ mollie

GOD BLESS AMERICA! headed downtown jackson!

Hey y'all!!!! We just stopped in some small town in Idaho. We don't know the name because Hef does not pay attention when she drives. LOL. Eating at a lil Mexican place. Sarah is driving so we get to have a margarita! Sarah was also hanging out the window and hit her nose. Funny stuff. Today was a long drive,12 hours, but the country side was beautiful! We are very excited to see jackson hole! -mollie

Hey there!
You've got another 1st time blogger on your hands. I figured I'd give in and let the fam, friends and bf get a lil taste of my rv trip this far.
I am having such an amazing time!!! Nashville was def music city, how could we not make our mark with some sweet karaoke singing?!?
New Orleans was exciting and different, def the hottest place we've been so far. Driving thru Texas makes me appreciate an airplane for all those visits to see Aunt Marsha in Katy! And, Cadillac Ranch was really random... I've realized vandalizing is my calling, JOKE!
Ok a more serious note, I didn't prepare myself for the beauty of the painted desert or the magnitude of the Grand Canyon. Both were worth the RV trip in themselves.
Now let's talk Vegas! It was sad to see Jess and Nan leave cuz I still miss them, but Hef, Molls and I still rocked it out!
The drive out of Vegas on the 1 lane road thru the desert can get boring. I suggest passing the slow trucks, it gets addicting or putting on a show for the local gas station by driving off with their pump.

Right now I am laying on the table bed after our evening in Yosemite, which I will let Smallz explain since it's her fav! We will leave soon for the Reno airport to pick up Sarah aka G Funk, when I'm sure about 12 more bathing suits, an iPod adapter and some sweet yoga poses will be added to the mix! Can't wait!

Off to RENO to pick up Sarah!

Yosemite is pretty awesome! We r headed now 2 hike 2c some sequoias & waterfalls! Hopefully we will make it back 2 camp in time 4 the Tuolumne campfire :) ~hef

wow okay so just left a gas station in death valley and We literally pulled the hose & pump off and drove down the street with it hanging out of the rv!
