The Storyteller

Melissa Manlove recommended we drop by The Storyteller, a bookshop specializing in children’s literature. We were impressed with its top-notch collection and book-related programs.  We gave Frankie Pickle a tour, and John posed with some of his favorite books.

John Reads Possum Summer at The Bookworm

We love visiting and supporting independent bookshops. Today we visited The Bookworm in Omaha, Nebraska. John bought Jen K. Blom’s Possum Summer.

Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska!

Touring Salt Lake City in a Dodge Grand Caravan

We did not plan on spending an entire day in Salt Lake City but our engine cover blew off as we drove through the Bonneville Salt Flats. The earliest available appointment was the next day, which meant we had an unexpected day in Salt Lake City! True to our “stress-free road trip” motto, we took advantage of the city and enjoy all it had to offer. Follow along on our video journey.

We were off to a later start than we anticipated but couldn’t leave Utah without stopping in Park City. A Twitter friend told us about Dolly’s Bookshop . We had to visit it! Thank you, Laura!

We are big fans of scenic vistas. They give us a chance to get out of the car, see something beautiful, take a few pictures, and get our blood flowing before the next stretch of driving.  We almost always take advantage of scenic vistas.

Whenever possible, we stop and take our picture in front of the state signs. On our first trip we did not do this in South Dakota and have often regretted that decision. We are determined not to make that mistake again.

 

We saw signs for Little America for miles. How could we not stop? The only problem was, while there, we forgot to replenish John’s gum supply.

Take a look at some of the books we read during Adventure Out West ’11.

We are glad we visited the Wyoming State Capitol.
