We wanted to add a little adventure to our move, so we decided to take a side trip to Utah/Yellowstone before Lewis started his job. We drove down to Alabama to drop off Lewis' car and then went the southern route that we hadn't ever used before. Oh man was it ugly and desolate! I about lost my mind somewhere in the middle of New Mexico. But after a while it seemed beautiful again. We met Brian, Jackie, and co. the second day and did Arches National Park with them which the kids loved. It was too hot to do too much hiking, but we did have a great time anyway. From there it was up to Utah then Yellowstone. We got to spend a couple of days with Ryan, Katie and their kids which is always so much fun. Then we got to meet Kathy's girls which was nice. We love Yellowstone! Lewis had to leave to get back to work, but Jackie and I stayed with the kids a few more days. I flew to Huntsville for less than 24 hours to attend Lewis' big work party and when I got back we hopped in the car for the long drive home.
