We started off the summer with a whirlwind adventure. We drove straight through to Arkansas, flew to California, and road the train to Montana (literally planes, trains, and automobiles, we can also throw in there tractors and a couple of boats). Here are some pictures of our craziness. Jackson was such a trooper. He just absorbed everything around him and had a great time. He learned lots of new tricks and met TONS of new people!

Here were Jackson's exciting new "tricks" during the trip. Also note we are riding in the car (that was one of the many times Jackson was in an automobile during the vacation).
Unrelated side-note.... that was an amazing restaurant,
called Di Bello Italian Restaurant in Medford, OR, at the end of the video.
