We made one of those paper chains, counting down for the move. This was the last chain, of course Kaelin wanted it to be purple, and if you wrap it around correctly it does say UTAH.
The first state I successfully got a picture of was, we were in Arkansas very early in the morning and I didn't think the picture would even show up, also we were on a bridge and it would have been a little tricky to get it.
At one point we passed a WHOLE LOT of windmills. They were really cool and it reminded me of that movie Mac and Me, does anyone remember that one? These ones were just close to the road, up over the little hill there were close to 50 windmills.
We passed through Texas
And on our second day we stopped in New Mexico, which I thought was gorgeous! As you see, I didn't get a picture there either. A big semi was blocking my view of the sign. But we woke up early the next morning and I was able to get a picture of this splendid sunrise.
On up to Colorado, just for a little while. The part we drove through was not very exciting, very dead looking.
I immediately started to miss the lushness of Tennessee.
We started getting closer to Utah and starting seeing new scenes of beauty. Large open spaces and big skies. Unique rock formations that I kept taking pictures of as requested by Kaelin. I'll only post one though.
Then, finally into Utah. This is where our tarp covering the bed of our truck got destroyed by a wind storm and we were stuck in traffic for the first time in the canyon. Within 10 minutes of home the pile of electronics stacked next to Sean toppled onto him. Hopefully not a sign of what's to come.
Hopefully we'll be doing some more activities and I'll remember to bring the camera.

I was also surprised by how beautiful New Mexico was on our way to Tennessee. Who knew?
