Family Vacation!!!!

All right, so as some of you know we took a little family vacation this past weekend. We pondered our options and thought New York would be fun, I have always wanted to see a Broadway Musical in New York, then Ryan was like Florida would be warm and the beach would be nice, I simply agreed. Then the Carribbean came into the picture. We could go on a cruise around and see many, many sights. But in the end, we decided we would make our journey 8 hours Northeast of here. That's right everyone, we went to visit Ten Sleep, Wyoming, population 308. Now there are many reasons why we chose this destination, but the main reason was, well, let's be honest. We could never afford those other destinations and we wanted to visit my brother and Ashley to see where their new home is and see their surroundings. So here are some pictures from our trip. The drive was not bad at all. I was dreading it but it actually went by pretty quickly driving there and back. We had a lot of fun seeing Dave and Ashley and their new home and meeting Dave's co-workers. It is definitely a memory we will keep with us forever! Please enjoy the pictures.....

We went to a Cafe called The Crazy Woman Cafe. Dave has been wanting to take me there because of the sandwich pictured above. He gave me no option, I had to order this sandwich and I was not one to argue. We all know I love spaghetti! That's right, this is a spaghetti sandwich. It was delicious! Now, it was way to messy to pick up like a sandwich so I had to use my silverware but it was fun to eat something different.

This is Ryan's giant burger he had at the Cafe. He said it was really good.

This is Dave and Ashely's new home. It is really cute. Very spacious and ver close to his work and downtown.

We celebrated Ryan's birthday up there with them. This is Ryan blowing out his candles.

Here is Dave and Ash lighting his cake. Dave was really excited because he bought the candles that don't blow out. It was like seeing a little school boy on Christmas morning :)

For an activity we carved pumpkins. It was really fun . I hadn't done that forever. Here are the pumpkins done in the dark. Kind of a creepy picture.

Here are the pumpkins in the light. Ryan's in the one on the right. He was really excited about his pumpkin throwing up.

Ryan doing work! He couldn't clean out his pumpkin guts. He said it made him sick so the wifey came to the rescue, I cleaned his pumkin out for him.

This is my pumpkin with the stars and Dave's pumpkin that says "Big Chief". My pumpkin was definitely the best. I have major pumpkin carving skills. I am thinking of doing for a profession. What do you think?

David forgot that he had to cut the hole at the top big enough so he could fit his hand in to clean out the pumpkin. So sis came to the rescue and did it for him. I think he just didn't want to touch the pumpkin guts!

This is Ryan's present from Dave and Ash. It is a cop detector. You would think we have problems driving too fast if someone is giving us a cop detector. I guess someday we will learn right?

This is the lake that Dave took us to. He wanted to go fishing. We were all excited to go on this little adventure but when we got there it was frozen over. So Ryan entertained himself by throwing these rocks on the ice and tried to break it. Oh the little things that can keep someone busy.

Dave and me at the lake. As you can tell, it was a little cold. Dave forgot about it snowing. It was pretty to see snow though.

Ry and me at the cold lake.

Ryan pondering the meaning of life. Isn't he cute?

Just another view of the pretty lake.

I will leave this picture to your imagination. You can just decide for yourselves what you think Ryan is doing......

Us at the top of the lake. This is where we went to have our picnic. It was really fun.

Another pretty picutre.

Dave trudgin through the snow to the picnic sight.

Here was a cute little old wagon that was on main street that Ryan was really excited about. We tried to get in it but it was chained off. Well, David says they don't have police in Ten Sleep so I guess we could have tried a little harder to get in.

This is their fairground/Rodeogrounds. Behind that is their Highschool football stadium. They play six man becuase they don't have enough people to play regular football.

Ryan thought he was funny throwing snow balls.

One shot of main street. That is where we drove in from.

Another shot of main street the other way. And yes, that's all she wrote. That is their town form one end to the other. You blink and you might miss it.

This is where Dave works. It is the nicest building in the town.

Here is a shot of the Crazy Woman Cafe where I got my awesome sandwich. It is one of two places to eat in town.

One of the bars on Main Street.

This is a sign telling how Ten Sleep got its name.

Ryan and me in front of Dirty Sally's. This shop was awesome. Ryan said he felt like he was back in West Virginia walking around this town. This is where I got my awesome Ten Sleep, Wyoming T-Shirt. Behind this building is a gentleman living in a trailer flying a confederate flag. Ryan flashed back to his mission. He said it was really weird.

Well I hope you all enjoyed your picture journey from out little family vacation. We had fun and hope you did too. I wonder where our next vacation will be........it remains a mystery. Stay tuned!
