Devil's Tower Wyoming

This summer we struck out from South Dakota for a trip to Yellowstone. After an overnight stop in the Black Hills we made a quick stop at Devil's Tower to break up our long trip across the state of Wyoming.

Cody Wyoming

We spent a couple hours at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wy.

Yellowstone National Park

We treked from the Black Hills of South Dakota across Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park. It was a worthwhile trip that included an overnight stopover in Cody, Wy.

Grand Teton National Park

We diverted a few miles south of Yellowstone to take in the Grand Tetons and make a quick visit to Jackston Hole, WY.

Old Faithfull

Our trip to Yellowstone was not complete until we witnessed Old Faithfull "blow its top". The weather was nice and the crowds were light, making it a great experience.

Geo-thermal Yellowstone

Yellowstone Park is covered with areas of exposed hot water in the form of springs, streams and "mud pots".

Lower Falls of Yellowstone River

Sheila and Christopher pose next to the famous "Lower Falls". This part of Yellowstone is called the "Grand Canyon" of Yellowstone National Park.

West Yellowstone Dust Devil

This powerfull dust devil suprised us in the middle of town. We eventually drove right through the middle of the devil with sand and rocks raining down on the car.

Little Bighorn Battlefield

This is the spot where Custer's "Last stand" took place. We stopped here (central Montana) on our way back from Yellowstone NP.

Panning for Gold

A trip to the Deadwood, SD was not complete unless we took time out to pan for gold. Christopher managed to glean 10 gold pieces from his "stake".

Shark Tooth Hill

One afternoon we drive about an hour north of Springfield, SD to the famed "Shark Tooth Hill". We took our excavating equipment and began digging and sifting for shark teeth. South Dakota was at the bottom of an ocean millions of years ago and shark teeth and other sea creature remains can be easily found in this area.

Fishing For the Big One

Christopher and Grandpa caught this Missouri River Drum on one of our first sandbar trips.

South Dakota Sandbar Time

We took advantage of the hot sunny weather and made several trips out on the Missouri River.

New Google Earth Utility on our Website

I put together a Google Earth file that illustrates where our ship cruised to and some of the sites we visited and displays it for you in your own Google Earth viewer. You only need to have the basic Google Earth application (free download from: Google Earth Home ). The hotlink can be activated by clicking this "Google Earth Link Displaying our Baltic Cruise Itinerary " hotlink. Just click on the link, select "Open" from the dialog box that opens and you will be taken in 5 seconds to the places it took us 10 days to cruise to. Let me know if you like it or if you have issues with it....enjoy!

Let the fun begin

We flew into Coppenhagen on Sunday, June
10. We spent the afternoon sight-seeing and
then Monday morning we took a hop on hop
off sight-seeing bus tour. We got on the cruise
ship by 1 pm Monday afternoon where we
enjoyed the pool and sun.

Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen

We spent the afternoon/early evening at
Tivoli Gardens. Christopher was lucky enough
to have a grandpa who knows how to shoot with
a bow and arrow and was able to win the dog.

The Little Mermaid

The mermaid is from Hans Christian Andersen's story,
The Little Mermaid.

Nyhavan Canal, Copenhagen

This is one of the most picturesque canals in Copenhagen. There were lots of shops and restaurants along the canal. You could also do a canal cruise.

The Star Princess

This was our cruise ship, the Star Princess. It held about
2600 passengers, weighs 109,000 tons and has 18 stories.
