Road Trip!

I had big intentions of documenting our cross-country road trip and taking lots of pictures.  I did not.  I got caught up in all of it and now have little to show for our trip!

We changed our route and decided to stop in Salt Lake City (even though it was out of the way) because we had heard it was beautiful.  The beginning of our trip, Nevada into Utah, looked a lot like this:


We were in the desert for AWHILE before it turned to this:


Salt Lake was pretty but we were kind of disappointed.  There was literally nothing there outside of Temple Square.  The temple was beautiful though and I'm glad we experienced a little Utah before continuing on East.








The next morning we got up early and drove through Wyoming.  It was actually really pretty and we kind of loved it.  Everything was crazy cheap there (we spent $4 on breakfast, no joke).  Before we knew it we were in Denver and OMG WE LOVED DENVER. We literally spent the night contemplating if and when we could move there.  It was that awesome.



It should be noted that I didn't wear makeup for the entire trip and lived in the same jeans and sweats.  It was sexy. 


After Denver we drove to Kansas City which apparently I didn't feel warranted any photos.  We do love it there though (remember when J spent a big chunk of last summer there and I cried about it all the time?  No?)

After THAT, there was a lot of THIS:

We spent an entire day driving across Kansas and that was boring.  We listened to a lot of Dane Cook and Robin Williams stand up that day which helped to pass the time. 

The next day we drove to Columbus.  It was boring.

The last day of our drive it POURED.  We drove through Ohio and this happened.

So the trip ended on a bit of a sour note and I am now slightly neurotic in the car.  HOWEVER, overall we had a great time and it was fun to explore parts of the country that I may never have visited otherwise.  We are safe and sound in Philadelphia and learning our way around our new neighborhood.
