Part II Day 2


We wake up super early, load the van and are moving by 7 AM. Getting out before the snow starts falling in Denver. 
It's a long day. We have fun getting to know each other during the long drive. 

Here are some Gravity Waves we see not far from Denver. It goes on for Miles. 

Limiting our liquid intake. 

We stop for lunch at a ❤️ 's. Eat in the Van as we travel on down the road. 

We drive through Amarillo heading east. We are pounding the pavement to get to an area that something may Bubble up.


We get to stop and take some photos of an old abandoned house.  


We travel on. Looking for something to happen,  nothing does.... 
All the elements are there. Mother Nature is Mother Nature.  One cell was promising,  but smoke from the New Mexico fires covered up the cloud structure.  I could only imagine how beautiful it would be as the sun was setting.  The smoke was hiding the beauty from us.  
                darn smoke....

We head to the hotel.Getting there  at 11PM
15 hours in the Van, makes us welcome a walk to the Waffle House.  Darn, forgot to get a picture of that! We are in Oklahoma City for the night. Storms are popping up to our west right now. 
check out isn't till noon.  
Tomorrow is another day.  
We shall see what it brings.  

Our drivers name is Tara. 
Other 2 photographers are Amy, and Suzanna. 
Suzanna has rainbow tinsel in her hair... (I find that interesting) Hummmmm

Good Night All.  
Till Tomorrow.

Day 2

 Day 2 We head out really early in the AM. Went to Safe Way, got cheap cooler, Ice and some items for a picnic lunch.  It is chilly out, we have our jackets on. Then we head to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I've been there a couple of times before. Really needed to share it with the kids.  It never fails, they scare the crap out of me... We walk a ways on the trail, we meet a bunch of really nice people along the way. The Canyon is just beautiful, sun shining it's pretty spectacular  we work up an appetite  It ended up being another long day. Spent about 7 hours in the Canyon, then drove to Page. The Scenery on the Way to Page was incredible too.  Adam said.... "When you think it can't get any better it does" The weather has been great. Oh, we did notice that we all were a little winded ... the altitude was getting to us a bit.  We are all pretty exhausted . I believe we are going to stay an extra day/ night in Monument Valley. We shall see. ...

Part II Day 7 & 8

 We take a slow ride from Abilene to Amarillo Texas. I call it abandoned house searching.  ww did make a stop at CapRock Canyon too.  How beautiful it is here.   As we are exiting the park we get to see some Buffalo!   The cactus are in bloom too! It takes us quite while to go from Abilene to Amarillo.  But, that is ok, we have a lot of fun taking photos.   The next day we go from Amarillo to Denver. We drive straight though with one very cool stop at It looks like the Badlands  It is pretty warm out, we all enjoy the formations and walking around here.  Next stop Denver... we're going to the same hotel we started in. They have a salt water pool.  We can't wait!   We have dinner first...  so excited about the pool.  We get back and change.  I get this from Dan....  ...

Slept in till 8 AM. Had breakfast,  then started getting the car ready to return .  Put all our luggage on a cart and took it to the hotel next door. Everything worked out smoothly.  The shuttles etc.  Back at the hotel we get our rooms, then I enjoy the salt water pool. Our informational meeting is at 6pm.  We have it meet all the other people on the tour.  Our driver actually knows the people who owned the camp grounds when the kids were little.  Small world.   Good night. Long day ahead of us
