God is such an ARTIST!!!!
|
Our family has just returned from a cross-country trip and the scenery has been absolutely beautiful!!! We left our home in Southeast TN on Thursday, May 1, and drove 30 hours straight to Flagstaff, AZ with a 5yo and a 3yo!! I am also now convinced that I have the best children in the world, as they did not complain one single time!!! My oldest daughter was on a school trip of her own and did not get to go with us - missed her TERRIBLY! We visited the Grand Canyon - breathtakingly beautiful and then drove on to Ventura, CA. While there, we drove up and down the Pacific Coast Highway, watched the sunset on the ocean, visited L.A. and Hollywood and went to Disneyland - a highlight for the kids!! We then went to Yosemite National Park - words cannot explain this experience!! We made a stop in Reno, NV before travelling on to Green River, UT and to Arches National Park in Moab. I do believe that if I ever move I want to live outside Salt Lake City!!!!!!!!! The prettiest part of the country that I've ever seen. Mountains all the way around! AND I got to travel through the hometown of Donny and Marie - my husband said that I was so childish about this, but I thought I was going to hyperventilate. After Arches, we drove to Denver and went up into Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a little late for snow, but it was pretty anyway. I prefer it in the winter, though. We headed next towards St. Louis, MO on our way home. We were going to come back through Chicago, but were so tired that we just came home and we are saving Chicago for another trip. All in all, it was incredible. We went through 15 different states in the two weeks we were gone - TN, GA, AR, OK, TX, NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, IL, and KY. It was great to get to see all the different parts of the country. Can't wait to go again!!! |
