Californ.i.a

After 5 days of driving across the country we finally made it to the other coast on Day #6. I missed taking a picture of the "Welcome to California" sign because Sarah and I were too busy talking on our walkie-talkies about how we need to be careful what we talk about now that we are in hearing distance to ...let's say... movie sets. Anywho, we stopped at Peggy Sue's 50's diner. It came complete with a "diner"saur park out back. Super cool. It was also home to the biggest fish I have ever seen and turtles. Turtles everywhere. Did I mention it rained? Only for a couple minutes.

Vegas

We stayed at the Stratosphere hotel. It's the pointy one at the end. I don't understand why so many people brought children to Vegas. Not like teenagers, like legit babies...infants in strollers. That was odd to me. Vegas made me feel claustrophobic. Too smokey and hot for me. Unfortunately it seems I've brought the hot 90 degrees Maryland weather to southern California. Here are some Vegas shots.

aaannnndddd we're back!

OK. finally got the Internet. So let's post the last few pictures of this trip. Our second to last day was from Richfield, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada! Vegas is quite literally in the middle of NO WHERE! And it was hot. Like, really, really hot. I don't do really really hot. One day we'll go back and do Vegas proper, but we were just too excited to get to California. My last few travel pics are of Arizona and Nevada... before we crossed into California.

Can you find me???

I told you we stopped a lot today. Which was actually quite awesome. It was nice getting out of the car and really fun to see so much. This was another "scenic view" spot in Utah. So pretty. I climbed a little mountain. Flip Flops were not such a great idea for mountain climbing, next time I'll be better prepared. :)

So...can you tell I've spent too much time in my car alone...?

I tried to take pictures showing you what the reflections in my mirrors looked like. With the views they have here in Colorado and Utah, every direction you turn is breathtaking.
