Utah Trip Part 1

A few weeks back Simon and I went on a trip to Utah. We didn’t have the money to fly so it was going to be 24 hour drive. Woohoo. Lol. We started our trip Monday morning at like 2am. It was early. After filling up our gas tank, we were on our way. We drove for 5 hours and pulled into the back of the parking lot at Walmart. We slept for a few hours and continued to drive. We drove through Oklahoma City and headed up to North. We stopped for an oil change on the way. Mel’s car was way overdue. The drive at points went by really fast. We stopped to eat or sleep whenever we wanted to. We slept anywhere from Walmart parking lots to Rest Stops along the way. The hardest part of the drive would have to be Kansas. There is absolutely nothing in Kansas. We even took 4 pictures outside of each window to prove out point.

Entering Colorado almost looked like Kansas but we had high expectations for the mountains that were soon to come. We watched a lightning storm along our drive to. It never was over us but it stayed parallel most of the time. Then we hit the mountains. Mel’s car was having a hard time excellerating up the hills. We decided to let the car take a rest along with my eyelids. The next morning there was not as much traffic so I didn’t feel bad about going so slow. Going down the pass was very pretty and we got some really pretty photos.

After a ways we stopped at a Truck Stop for a little shut-eye. I slept in the car while Simon took our comforter and slept out on the picnic table. Simon didn’t think it was very funny when a truck came by blasting its horn. The nook where this stop was was very pretty.

Finally we hit Utah… and the desert. It was the same thing over and over. After a while we hit a prettier area and civilization. We were pretty psyched by this point.
