Our Trip to LIFE IS GOOD conference (Day 1)

This morning at 4:30 a.m. Selena and I quietly did our last minute packing, drank our essential coffee and started out on our trip to Washington state. We are attending the northwest Life is Good conference for unschoolers. http://www.lifeisgoodconference.com/register.htm? We are so excited to meet other unschoolers as well as to see another slice of the country. Unfortunately Xavier had an important classical guitar masterclass the same weekend, so he stayed home to take care of the dogs and other animals.
Well, we rolled out of the driveway at 5:30 and traveled northwest until we got to Fargo, North Dakota where we had some coffee and a friendly chat with some people at the welcome center. Oh, no, I still have a hat on!! It was SO windy and cold but it warmed up as the day went on.
NORTH DAKOTA... need I say more.

In the car we listened to Podcasts, the music to "Wicked" and Selena read the book "Wicked". She's enjoying her free time now that classes are over. We had lunch at a Visitor Center in North Dakota. Selena made sandwiches last night so we ate them for lunch.

We finally made it to Montana and drove for a couple hours before finding a campsite in Miles City. We are right now sitting in front of a fire and thinking about getting in to our sleeping bags.


Hasta manana! Tomorrow we make our way across the HUGE state of Montana.
