#COTOBO

We started our EPIC trip on June 13, 2017

First stop was TEXAS where we stayed with

the Gurney Family.

With Wyatt Gurney

We spray painted Cadillacs at Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo!

We traveled further into TX and stayed at the Jones' Home.

We saw Cars 2 there and had so much fun.

We headed down to Waco and checked out Baylor University.

Dad and Baylor headed back to CO so B could attend a football camp with Von Miller.  The girls headed on schedule and stayed in New Orleans.

The beignets were sooooo good!!!

 Sister protecting you from the French Quarter!

I found this awesome mini fairy tale land in New Orleans biggest park. You had such a fun time exploring and seeing scenes from fairy tales come alive.

My beautiful girls! It was soooooo hot and humid, we couldn't believe it. Still we had such a fun day together. This park was really awesome.

It was beautiful with the old huge trees covered in Spanish moss. We loved the Tiana vibes here.

You lit candles for Papa Pete at St. Louis Cathedral. Such sweet good girls.

ALABAMA

We stopped at the Rosa Parks Museum on our way through Alabama.

I didn't realize that it was right by Dr. Martin Luther King's church and home.

After going through this museum which was really very cool we got to go see Dr. King's places.

We just made it in time to take a tour of Dr. King's home. You were so lucky to be chosen to unlock Martin Luther King Jr.'s front door!!!

Next we headed into Georgia. We're just a bunch a peaches! We stopped at a Walmart and got dinner and ice cream to eat at the hotel.

It was good to stop at MLK's memorial in Atlanta.  After being in his home and church it felt right to pay a final tribute to him. 

Next we went to the heart of Atlanta and checked out Coca-Cola World and the CNN Studios.

We drank so many different kinds of soda! It was so funny when we got a gross one! CHEERS!

 

You're just the COOLEST!

 

We were back together and all got to wear our trip shirts together!

The Atlanta Aquarium was awesome!! They had these cool tunnels for us to go in and get that much closer to the penguins! It was like being in the exhibit!

College Football Hall Of Fame

Jumping into a foam pit when we stopped to visit my friend Lisa. 

She took us to a trampoline place and you guys had a blast! 

Look how brave you are taking that huge jump!!

You got tuckered out!!! There was a lot of sleeping while we drove. You are such a good traveler!

SOUTH CAROLINA- Myrtle Beach

BEST FAMILY EVER!!

My BEST girl!! It is so fun being with you!!! You were not too sure about being out in the ocean. The water was so warm and nice, I got you to trust me to go out far in the water and we had such a great time going over and under the waves.

Chillin in our hotel's hammocks. Very fun! Look at your cute little bum, just about going to fall right through! We didn't stay too long because of the CROCODILE warning. YIKES! But we had to at least try them out.

WASHINGTON DC

NEW YORK

You really liked seeing the Statue of Liberty after learning about her in first grade.

I will always remembering holding you up to look out of the tiny windows of her crown.

BOSTON

We made it to BO!!!

On the 4th of July to watch the fireworks.

We were stuck in the park all day and didn't see too much of Boston. On our way out we did stop of the JFK Presidential Library. That was really cool.

We headed back west. On our way to Pennsylvania you somehow managed to get yourself stuck in your seat belt and we had to CUT IT!! What a crazy experience. We don't have a clue how you did it. I even climbed back while Dad was driving to see if I could get you loose but there was no way.

 ILLINOIS

We arrived in Rockford and went to see Papa Pete. It is always a little hard to see him when he isn't a hundred percent sure what is going on. He does know us for the most part. He knows me and that you're my kids. Most importantly he knows he is loved and you know you are loved by him.

Next we saw my friend Renee and her daughter was having a birthday party so we got to have fun with them!

 Susie gave you an early surprise birthday party, Star Wars themed complete with Ray costume!!!

I think it is so funny you're into Star Wars ever since we made the "Force of the Father" video and watched the movies.

Look at YOU!! You're amazing!

We caught fireflies at Susie's...or maybe they caught you!

It was such a fun experience for you guys. Just like my childhood days in Rockford.

We left Dad here, and he flew home.

You guys traveled on with me through Minnesota where we stopped at Mall Of America and onto South Dakota where I got my first speeding ticket and we saw Mt. Rushmore.

This might be the most epic picture of the trip! You guys impersonating Mt. Rushmore! HAhaha!!

This was a trip of a lifetime Brynnly girl. 

I am so glad you were a part of it and made it that much more special and memorable!
