Happy birthday, Tuva twins!!! And I'm so sorry about your aunt's passing. I hope it didn't put too much of a damper on your trip!

Did you travel on 287? That's such a beautiful drive with the mountains. I miss mountains. My brother and his husband own a restaurant in the Snowies...well, technically on the way up to the snowies. It's in Centennial, which is right on the road that leads up into the mountains. When we...

Yeah, we stayed at the campground the week before rally started, and that was part of the problem. I purposely avoided rally, but people do start trickling in a bit early, and a lot of the better places are already booked full, and everyone raises their prices. I don't think it was worth the...

Where did you stay in SD? Most of those little towns don't have many options. Rapid City is about as good as you are going to get in that area. We stayed at a campground in Sturgis...one of my husband's cheap finds, where we stayed for almost a week. No bathroom or anything. We had to walk...

I think they get around that because technically, the hotel was in the picture. It just wasn't front and center and you couldn't tell that what you were looking at front and center wasn't part of the hotel. It was all in the same building. I tried to look it up, but other people must have...

Yeah, for Devils Tower, you'd be better off either staying in Gillette, Wyoming, or somewhere in South Dakota. Most of the smaller places in that area of Wyoming (Sundance, Moorcroft, etc) wouldn't have anything but your tiny motels with outdoor access only, I'm pretty sure. I could be wrong...

It is fun, and there are definitely some disney-like things there, but the food is typical theme park food, which is sad. They could do so much more. But I do like to go there for a day once every few years.

My husband is like that, too. I toss and turn for a couple of hours before falling asleep. His head hits the pillow and he's OUT. I've never tried the essential oils, but I can't stand the smell of lavender, which most sleep aid stuff uses. My MIL used a bathroom spray that was lavender...

I went to the Efteling yesterday, and if anyone is interested in pictures, page 3885 of the bob saget thread. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/where-in-the-world-isnt-bob-saget.895312/page-3885

Yeah, they are delicious, but the best ones are the warm ones straight from the vendor, where the caramel is still dripping off of it.

Yeah, motel 6 usually isn't great. They are a budget option, and while Wyoming has no large cities, there are still a few of the bigger towns that have seedy parts of town and any hotel in that part of town is going to be less than stellar. And I get that he wants to save money, but it's not...

Ok, it's not letting me just make a link to that page of the thread, so hopefully you can see the quotes.

These are Stroopwafels. Normally, you'd get them fresh from a street vendor, without all the white or dark chocolate and stuff on them. It's like a very thin sandwich cookie with a caramel sauce in the middle. They are to die for if you can get them fresh and warm. There used to be a...
