Back in the Van

I think we were all a bit sad to leave Lakeside for a number of reasons: Grandpa Buzz and Grandma Miki's house is so fun and we'll miss them, we're leaving the nice cool weather, and we have to get back in the van and do more driving.

We left on Tuesday, July 12th, and made our way to St. George to my sister Della's house. Harrison didn't sleep as long or as well as I had hoped and James was pretty restless. We decided to stop and get gas at Jacob Lake and have an ice-cream break. It was just the thing we all needed to make it through the hot desert to St. George.

We debated driving in to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon but the thought of adding about an hour and a half just to take a picture wasn't too appealing, especially when our kids were not having the best of travel days. Here's a picture of the Grand Canyon like landscape along our drive so we thought this was good enough.
