KCMO was a a full 14 hours of fun. We were treated to some great BBQ and then went for custard because, duh. We had a few hours of solid family time with some of the Lanier cousins and then slept like bricks. We were back on the road to Arkansas the next morning to start the home stretch of our trip.
Read MoreColorado you are so beautiful. Our 3 nights in and around the Denver area were great. Just a few miles into the state we were met with a snow storm. And not like an Alabama snow storm where everything shuts down for an inch but 3 inches blowing all around and folks going about business as usual. We loved it.
Read MoreWe’ve wrapped up our 5 parks in 5 days throughout Utah. The desert has been incredible but we are ready to see some green forest. The last few nights we’ve been in Moab, Utah and it's a pretty cool town with a lot of adventurous stuff to do.
Read More“Beautiful, beautiful Zion…” I’m having a hard time knowing where to even start with Zion National Park because I just loved it so much. We only had a day and 1/2 to explore there and man I wish we would have planned for longer.
Read MoreWhen we first drove into the park from the southwestern entrance it was pretty but a normal kind of pretty. And then after some bobbing and weaving we went through a long tunnel and came out to a view that literally took our breath away.

Read MoreI didn’t know much about Sequoia National Park before we got here (this is starting to become a regular occurrence apparently). I just figured we would drive to the park and immediately see the massive Sequoia trees all around us. Not the case. When we entered Sequoia for the first time from the Foothills entrance we were greeted with a more lush and almost tropical feel of a park.
Read MoreWe woke up yesterday morning excited for Resurrection Day. I mean, how can you NOT be excited to know that the Savior came back to life for YOU?!
Read MoreHeaded west from New Mexico into Arizona. First stop, Petrified forest and then to Walnut Canyon and then the Grand Canyon.
Read MoreYesterday was a driving day. We waited on the storms to clear for a bit in the morning and then started making our way up through Texas. On our way out of Waco we indulged in kolaches (that spelling is probably WAY off) which is a fancy name for a big ‘ol pig-in-a blanket and are oh so divine.
Read MoreDude, Waco is way bigger than I imagined in my head.
I had no idea what all was in this part of Texas! Shows you how much I (don’t) know. We survived the crowds of people at Magnolia Silos yesterday and no one was lost.
