our next destination on our Summer Road Trip was the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.

The park areas around Mount Rushmore include large tracts of land where Bison roam freely, one of the largest caves in the world, unique geological landscapes not found anywhere else in the world, and fun cultural and historical attractions.

How can we possibly do this? We can’t just take a tent and some toys! We actually have to keep another human being alive!
Chicago For Kids
The first stop on our summer road trip was Chicago, and it didn’t disappoint.
