Road Trip-i-ness

We are back from the road trip, and it was amazing. If you ever have the time (or don't), we HIGHLY suggest you do this. Just.Awesome.

I don't have the time at this very moment to divulge all the tales of the trip, but I can share a few highlights via pictures (more to come as well) to give you a sense of what went on...

First, there was a lot of this... Nebraska and Iowa are very, very boring and flat. It's actually incredible, but I don't think I'll ever need to revisit those places...

Then, mountains!! Lots of mountains!! You must go through the Rocky mountains, they were beautiful. Also, you get to drive through tunnels in the mountains (:: squeals::)

Coming up next was Utah. The place of Mormons. Naturally, there was a copy of The Book of Mormon in our hotel room in Cedar City where it snowed (lol). This was what Jared (we brought along several of his likenesses) thought about the development.

Then we almost had a Banana Cake day. We bought what we thought were delicious peach rings, but instead (as you can see on the label) they were strawberry BANANA! Thank GOD the label was read before we put them in our mouths...ewww!! Obviously, Jared was very disturbed by this particular event.

VEGAS! We stayed at the Mirage on the Strip. It was beautiful, exciting and way too much fun. We suggest a minimum of three days if you ever go. The buffets were awesome, and shenanigans were had by all.

More of pretty pretty Utah, were we stopped at Zion National Park.

After Vegas we stopped in Arizona for two days, then drove through New Mexico, Texas (best burger ever), Oklahoma, and Missouri. Obviously, we have pictures from those states as well, but I figured we could do this in parts.

Lastly, we discovered a new sign off phrase while in Denver.

Epic on pen,
