We have been enjoying southern California since we visited with an advisor friend of Ben's in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, and since then, at our friend's and host's house (we'll be here until Friday morning).
A few pics to share of our travels thus far (and some are out of order, unfortunately, but you'll get the gist!):
We decided to stop at every state line and take a picture!
Edith and Ginny enjoyed "toeing the line" being half in Idaho and half in Montana at this border - they had concrete markers to indicate the line.
Sunny, dry, and HOT HOT HOT California. It was 94 degrees at 8:30am.
When we initially drove across the border in northern Utah, we forgot to stop at the state line, so we decided to take its picture when in southern Utah - so, we drove to Arizona and took that sign's picture, then turned around on an exit pass to head back north and cross Utah's state line and take a picture, and then finally got back on the road to drive through that short 25-mile stretch of northwestern AZ until we hit the California border.
Ben broke in our campfire dutch oven at our campsite in Utah - but we had to use our small grill as the head source instead of a campfire because they didn't have any campfire rings! Ben made a delicious Julia Child-inspired braised beef roast while the girls and I rode bikes around the campground and made some new friends (Don & Kellie from NC and Bill & Debbie from CA).
Sweet, blessed fun. They've napped virtually every day we've been on vacation - signs of a good time :)
The 25-mile stretch in Arizona. Breathtaking at every turn!
Making some coffee for our early morning rise near St. George, UT.
Views from the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, NV (we opted to stay in a hotel versus camping as it was 110 out. We definitely made the right choice!
Before the girls woke up - at our campsite near St. George.
Proof of the awesome roast!!
I'll get another post up here soon with details of all of our happenings in the last few days. We've been busy and having a blast!!
