I can't believe it is already February
2017! It seems we have not been keeping up our blog very well,
because the last post was almost a year ago. It has now been almost 3
years since we started our walk across America and 16 months since we
finished it. Wow, how time flies! Well, we have been busy with many
things, such as finishing the season at the Bar NI ranch in
Stonewall, CO. After the season was finished in late November, 2016
we decided to travel again, but this time in a car.
We ended up traveling over 16,000 miles
through 15 states! We visited Branson, MO and Silver Dollar City
during Christmas time. Silver Dollar City alone has over 5 million
lights and 1000 trees decorated for Christmas! This has been a family
tradition for many years,

We also visited the Henry Doorly Zoo in
Omaha, NE. The zoo has been ranked the #1 zoo in the world. If you
are ever near Omaha it is well worth the visit. We visited many
cities including, Savannah, GA, St, Augustine, FL and New Orleans,
LA. We spent a week in Walt Disney World and a day on Avery Island,
LA where Tabasco hot sauce is made. We have been on beaches in
Galveston, TX, Pencacola, FL, and Daytona, FL. We have touched and
fed dolphins and eaten foods that were
great and not so great.
So after dining with princesses in
Disney and watching our wallet in New Orleans and everything in
between, we can say it has been one amazing winter. Well, here are
some pictures of our trip. Hope you enjoy!
