Day 1


Wow. We are SO tired but had such a fabulous day. We actually left pretty close to 'on time' for us ~ aimed for 4:00 and left at 4:30 a.m. We have been in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah already. Pretty good for one day's driving. Alex got to see Vegas but from the freeway. We just wanted to keep moving. It's also where we found the cheapest gas so far... $3.99, practically free!

Dan took us off the Mapquest path and what treasures we saw. Utah has such spectacular scenery, completely awe-inspiring! This is a picture of the girls in Utah.

One of the downsides of driving with Dan off the Mapquest path is ending up on roads that when we got to the end, had a blockade and the back of signs saying 'Road Closed"....Oops! And of course, it was pouring rain, thunder and lightning. But we still had fun! Rough road though....

We've landed in Green River, Utah for food, a quick swim and sleep! We're heading out early tomorrow to Laramie, Wyoming and checking out what that city has to offer.

Brenna wants to let everyone know that from our hotel room we can see a lightning storm. She also saw lots of animals. Oh! We went to a cheese factory! Kind of expected a tour but just had samples. We're trying to find the wackiest things we can. You know, the largest ball of twine, etc.

Sorry this is short... I'm beat and the bed is calling my name...

Lots of love,
Morag & Family
