Whew! We are EXHAUSTED! We left our house at 4:30 Tuesday, 4 hours later than we wanted and the chaos immediately began. Fighting over tv's, fighting over seats, trailer had the wrong kind of hitch, and we had to make a deposit at the bank...Which I had to do on foot, since the trailer wouldn't fit under the awning. Anyway, we are here and it was such a loooong drive. We got on the road good at 6:00 in the evening and ate dinner in Amarillo at 9. Then we made the executive decision that we would drive til we couldn't drive no more. We stopped a few times for gas and ended up driving all freaking night! We finally threw in the towel in Gallup, New Mexico at 6 in the morning. Where we slept at the grossest hotel ever until 10:30. We barely got out the door before checkout at 11, after which we had a greasy Denny's breakfast. Back to the van we went. Driving, driving, and more driving. We somehow got off of our original plan of Texas, New Mexico, then Utah, and ended up in Colorado briefly. Anyway, long story short we are in Sandy, Utah. Bathed, fed, and tired and fixing to hit the hay. Other than a few teeny issues, the kids were amazing.
Points of interest:
the adjustment to the altitude was odd
Hunter farted 143 times
we saw rabbits, snakes, prairie dogs, and deer... big shocker huh?
Super 8 motels are GROSS
Hilton Garden Inns are much nicer
Chan is homesick already

Glad you made it. Hope you have a wonderful time!! All is good here on the home front.
Woohoo! Glad you made it safe!! Travelling is NO FUN! But you will SO be able to look back and talk about "remember when Hunter FARTED 143 times" and just roll on the floor laughing!
Ugh...boys are just not nice!! I remember going on a trip to San Francisco with my two brothers and they competed with each other!! I was so grossed out by all the farting and burping!!!
Hope you're having a blast!!!!
