The Rockies

Well, it's time once again for the Jones' Family Vacation Page, and I am happy to report that our carload of Jones's (can y'all believe I don't know the plural structure of my own last name?) had yet another spec-TAC-ular time this summer. As many of you know (because I counted how many "hits" I had from last year on our web page counter!!!), our trip last year to the Green Bean Cannery People in Omaha, Nebraska, was such a tre-MEN-dous success, that many of the Jones family, which I personally polled for results, thought that it couldn't be topped. Well, do you know that it turns out that we were ALL quite mistaken!!!

The Jones clan loaded our minivan once again in search of adventure and sped off to the wonderful world of Big Sky Country, home of Indians, Cowboys, and all the prairie land you never thought you'd make it through. For a while, this little Jones was a wee bit nervous, don't you know, as we drove through those miles and miles of flatland on our way to the more excitin' and mollifyin' REAL West. Our kids were getting a mite restless with the lack of scenery, but boy did that change when we finally reached the Rockies!

I am telling you, if you have yet to make it out to our nation's version of the Swiss Alps, you simply must go. We stayed in the most charming hotels; a few of them built with gi-GAN-tic trees that are so big around you just can't believe it! Our base of operations, as you might call it, was in Glacier National Park, and I have never seen such amazing scenes in all my days of family vacations. We stayed one night in a hotel called Many Glacier Hotel, and it's right on the edge of this gorgeous lake, and the Rocky Mountains are right there across the way! We took snapshot after snapshot with our panoramic cameras. I don't think we have room enough in our albums to put all our great pictures!
