The Neverending Trip

I'll try to make this...NO, I will make this the final posting of The Neverending Trip!!!!  I think I've forgotten what exactly happened, so I may make some stuff up. I'm sure you'll never be able to tell what is real & what I made up.

We started off with smiles, but they didn't last long. Driving 10 hrs in one day isn't really fun. I know, that info took you by suprise, but it's true! Since I'm not much of a morning person, I really don't remember having this pic taken. Yet, here it is as proof that I was up & dressed before 9am.

On the bright side, it was a beautiful day! These sunflowers were about Payson or Santaquin...about 30 minutes into the drive. If the whole drive was like this, maybe it wouldn't be too bad. But the rest of the drive was like this...

Okay, even these views don't look that bad. But after hours & hours & hours of this I pulled out my camera to kill some time. My pics of the giant castle with the beautiful princess with the really long locks of hair flowing from the window didn't turn out. Nor the ones of the purple hippopotamus selling beef jerky by the side of the road.

This is where you can tell the boredom starts settling in.

Look, I can make a little French mustache. Quite the talent, eh? Obviously, I took many more than these shots you are enjoying now. These were just the best ones. You can thank me later for not sharing the one of a close up of Dan's ear.

We listened to a book on CD the whole way since our tastes in music differ. He's a little bit country. I'm a little bit rock & roll.  So Hamish MacBeth was our companion. If you haven't read any of MC Beaton's Scottish mystery books, then you have no idea who Hamish is. He can be quite entertaining whilst in the middle of the desert. I don't think he's ever been to the desert. But then again, I guess he has since we took him. Okay, babbling now.

It's always good to be home, even though it involves unpacking a whole bunch of stuff and laundry for the whole next week. Eddie, our dog, was so excited to see us that he almost ate my face off. That would be funny to see me with no face! I was also glad to have made it back to sea level without major sinus & ear problems!

YEA!!!! I'm all done blogging about our amazing trip to Utah. I now realize I have a lot of things to learn about uploading pics and getting them placed in the right place on the blog page!
