Road Trip Day 2 and 3

So, sorry about not having a blog up for the last day (if you've been following). When we got to our hotel in Provo, Utah, we crashed. Here is the recap of day 2 and 3 (and a little preview of what is to come.)

Day 2: We left our hotel in Williams, Arizona, and went to the South Rim on the Grand Canyon. What a great place that is. Cooper was going crazy with all the rocks and sticks. Ava just observed the view, and Greta was just plain hot. This part of the trip only lasted about 40 mins. Then we loaded up the "TC" and drove the Desert View of the Canyon. Beautiful. It took us to a Cameron, Arizona, Navajo land. There were many road side stores selling Indian jewelry and jerky. As a road side side advertized, lots of Nice Indians.

Continuing north, we drove through the painted dessert, through Page, Arizona, known for it's "Lake". Yup that's right, a lake. We stopped at the Super Walmart to get some lunch, and off we went to Utah. As we said in our earlier blog, the land looks great and is doing fine. We have seen some breath taking landscape. This is the best route we could have taken. By 11pm we finally made it to our destination of Provo, Utah, just outside Salt Lake. Sleep.

Day 3: After breakfast, we headedto the Temple Square, in downtown Salt Lake City. Small town, but tons of heritage with the whole Mormon/Joseph Smith thing. Temple Square is where the heartland of the religion lies. The first temple is there, and a bunch of cooperate buildings. Time to hit the road, the Eagles game is on.

Lunch done, and a disappointing start to another football season, we head to Wyoming. Driving a long and winding road, that takes us through picture postcard looking scenery, we take a break at Bear Lake. A huge lake that connects Utah and Idaho. Like I have said before, this is the best route, Rt 89. Also on route 89, there is a landmark for the first Oregon Trail, and I don't mean the video game we all played in elementary school, but the real deal. We also went through the town of Montpelier, Idaho.

Finally, Wyoming. Let me just say that my California attire was no match for the fall of Wyoming. I had to get up in the overhead storage and bust out the long sleeve shirts and the coats. Chilly. We are staying in Jackson/Jackson Hole, and it is awesome. That's right awesome. We ate dinner and headed to bed, as for Yellowstone is a calling tomorrow.
