Day 2 - Idaho/Montana/Wyoming

So much driving. I have a new respect for people who drive for a living (like Alex's dad). 

We left Oregon mid-morning and drove through Idaho. 
Other than the Snake River, there's not a whole lot to see in Idaho. 
Just a bunch of potatoes and NOTHING!

We had planned to make a stop at Craters of the Moon National Monument but there was too much smoke from a major wildfire in that direction. We decided to skirt around to avoid the yucky air. Doing so made our drive longer but it was worth it to stay in fresh air! 
We drove all day through Idaho and finally crossed the border into Montana. We only spent a few miles there because you have to cross it to get into Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. 
I made Alex get out of the car so it would count as a State we went through. 

We made it to our campsite in the Grant Village of Yellowstone pretty late. We hit the hay and slept for 11 hours! I'm glad we got to catch up on some of our missed rest. 

Today we are going to enjoy the Park! I'll post about our camping fun for Day 3 - keep your eyes peeled!
