Road Trippin'

Last week my mama flew to CA to take a road trip with me.

Our mission was to find a place for Z & I to live in CO, 

where Z has gotten a new job.

But instead of taking the quickest route, 

we decided to take advantage of the opportunity

to visit places we'd never been.

Just like Thelma & Louise

(minus the guns, murder, theft, Wild Turkey, 

and the whole driving over a cliff thing)

we set out for an adventure!

We found out that the name Grand Canyon

is a bit of an understatement, 

and know that we will have to return some day

when we have more than 2 1/2 hours.

Then we made our way through

the Painted Desert, Monument Valley, 

and past Arches NP before

heading over the Colorado mountains.

Love this shot Mama took of the arch

out the car window!

It was such an awesome trip

seeing part of this country I had never seen, 

laughing and talking with my mama,

and getting to know our new home.
