 We have been on the road more than off it this past week.  During that time we got to visit 3 friends and spend some time catching up.  We did not have long enough with any of them, but any time you can get with those you love and miss is a blessing.

   We have managed to see some things.  We went through the Petrified Forest which is really amazing.  It is another reminder that so many have walked this land before us.  We also went through Yosemite National Forest.  Again I am still overwhelmed and awed by the sheer size and openness of the land out here.  I am sure there are times I look and sound like a child seeing a candy shop for the first time.  

   We traveled along Route 66 for a while and found this hotel called the Wigwam Inn.  It was so cute.  It was a huge attraction back in the day.  You will see the pictures of it on the new page.

   From here on out I think we will have a more direct path as we head toward the north.  Today we will go to Zion National Park and then head towards the Grand Canyon.  From there we will head north to Mesa Verde and Durango  Colorado.  Then begins the trek to Yellowstone!  So much to see!

  We are still very excited and having a blast on this trip.  We finally took a down day yesterday and boy did we need it.  It felt good to be out of the car for a day.  We know we cannot see it all, but we are sure trying to see as much of is as we can.  We are getting ready to slow down though and spend more time exploring the upcoming places we are going.

  We hope that you are enjoying the blog and will keep reading and looking.  Please let us know what you think.  It helps us to know what we are doing right and wrong.  Have a great day and we will update again as soon as we can.
