We are here!

Quick update:
We made it to CO
& are settling into the new place.

I don't have photos from the trip
because
1. Z drove the whole 1st day, 
which means that we didn't stop much.
 2. Z ate something bad & got really sick,
meaning I drove the whole 2nd day.

Thus, no pics.

So instead, here's some photos of Z watering
the lawn in Cali for the last time, 
and some new friends we made along the path 
near our new place.

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.

there are tons more photos from the trip!

A Cowboy morning

One morning while Matt & Chris were here, 
we decided to take a road trip adventure.
Z & Matt donned their hats
& we set off to the West to see what we could see!

Fortune quickly showed her face.


Pretty soon the straight roads of the valley floor
gave way to the rolling hills. These winding mountain
lanes offered us vistas that we couldn't refuse.

Z perfected his cowboy pose.


Matt & Chris wondered what we would find beyond these hills.


A horse stared at us.

Everything was so green & flowers blanketed huge swaths of the hills.


Our curvy, rolling trail.


Finally Matt couldn't contain himself any longer.
Yeehaw! Westward Ho!
