It is images like this that make a 24 hour car ride with 3 small children bearable for me.
Texas Wind Farm
I am absolutely captivated by the scenery when I drive on long road trips. I was lucky to have The Husband driving this time so I could take some pictures.
Two weeks ago (has it been that long already!?) we set out to on our drive from Bossier City, Louisiana to Zion National Park in Utah to attend a family reunion with all of my siblings and some extended family. It was a LONG drive, but thankfully it was a beautiful drive!
Painted Desert (not the Painted Desert)
Before this Zion road trip the longest car ride Baby Z (18 months) had ever been on was a 6 hour trip to Katy, TX. Though I can’t say he was eager to beat his road trip record, he was a trooper.
We tried incorporating some games into our travels, but that quickly fizzled out and we resorted to a steady stream of DVDs to keep the peace.
They’re in the zone.
Thankfully, we got to enjoy the prettiest of the scenery towards the end of my journey. I seriously credit that with keeping me from breaking down in hopeless wails of “will this journey ever end!”.
Arizona
Make it to Zion we did. And, though I can’t imagine that with all the flash floods, heat, and extreme cold it seemed much like a Zion to the Mormon pioneers who settled it, it was truly magnificent!
Stay tuned for more pictures from our Zion adventures!
