Kent, Claire and I took a little ride around the U.S. that only took us 7 days total. Here is our map:
Here it is on a larger scale:
Longest road trip I've ever been on.
During our drive we talked about the land and how dry and how there is nothing in the top corner of New Mexico/Southern Utah. If you have never been this route, the landscape reminded us of several movies:
Lion King
Spirit
The Sound of Music
Holes
Up
Cowboys and Indians, of course.
Awesome parts of our trip: Having our miles thing say 1234568 - we were 2 too late! We found an Antique store on the side of the road, passed it, looked at each other, and agreed to turn around and go in. Having the windows down for 1/2 the trip. That's like saving 20 bucks!
We learned: Grapes are not good travel snacks.
We took a break in Los Lunas, NM and our car didn't start up. That was the only scary part of the trip! All was well.
The reason we went through Oklahoma was because that is where Kent served his Mission! We spent 4 days around Oklahoma City area visiting people he knew. It was so fun and so exciting to hear stories and see the places he lived. The people were so friendly and we stayed with a family that only spoke Spanish! Kent did a lot of the translating ;)
We are onto another reception tomorrow!
