Road Trip

We drove from Colorado to Utah in one day.  I have decided that Wyoming's state tree is a telephone pole. It was barren and hot and flat, so when we finally drove into Bear Lake and Logan Canyon at sunset, it was the most beautiful sight in the world.

How we got through the 10-hour drive:

• Movies on the DVD players- Despicable Me and Dora the Explorer
• Books on CD- Happy Birthday Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and Tangled (in story form)
• Coloring Books
• Reading books
• Stops at Arby's and Little America for lunch and dinner
• Music. So much music. I had to drive the whole way because it was ridiculously expensive to add Peter as a driver to the rental policy, so I entertained myself by singing along to almost every song on  my iPod, from Radiohead to Peter Paul and Mary to Into the Woods.  
• Silliness. So much silliness. By the time we rolled in Calvin was deliriously giggling at just about anything. We also planned to build houses in the middle of Wyoming and talked about the benefits of having miles and miles to roam.
