After all of the passport hysteria settled down and we made it to James Island County Park (campsite map) we set up our tent and fed the dogs and dug all of the stuff out of the car that we needed to cook

The French Lesson and Passport Faux Pas
We met Sandra\’s Dad around noon in Jacksonville and traded stuff. Layla and Blair were with him and made sure the dogs got some love.
So back on the road, we had about 4 hours to go and since we will
On the road and Tweets from 1936!
I think we were both so excited we didn\’t sleep well at all but 6 am came and without protest we got up and began loading the car. Our goal was to leave at 8 am.

The Road Trip Begins Tomorrow!

Aspen Forest
After leaving Bryce Canyon we drove through a forrest of Aspen Trees. It was so pretty it didn\’t look real.
It\’s the kind of thing that you have to stop and take a photo of even though you know your
Bryce Canyon National Park
We pulled into Bryce Canyon National Park and lucky for us there was a spot to place your camera for a photo with the sign so we did not have to deal with the same fiasco that we had at Zion.
We were
The Patio Restaurant near Tropic, Utah
After a few hours of driving we were starting to get hungry and there was absolutely nothing but desert for as far as we could see. Then just as we were starting to worry, we discovered this quiet little
What to pack for a trip?
Recently we went on a week trip to Lake Tahoe and were able to share one suitcase between the two of us. What makes that so impressive is that we both packed warm and cold clothes as well as our ski gear.

Bryce Country Cabins
After our trip through the Grand Escalante Stair Case we finally made it to Bryce Country Cabins for the night. It was a relief to spot the cabins along the side of the road.

LOST! Escalante National Monument
This is as close to lost as we have ever been on one of our trips. We were on our way to Tropic, Utah for the night and we were about 2 hours away on this unnamed road, here\’s the video for the details…

Horseshoe Bend
Just south of the dam for Lake Powell is the famous Horseshoe Bend. You may have seen this in photos but it is quite impressive in person.
We sat and watched the boats in the river for a while and
Lake Powell
Our next stop was Lake Powell, a which is a man made lake that is over 500 feet deep at it\’s deepest. The lake was made by damming up the Colorado River and it created an awesome recreation area for everyone
Camping at Zion National Park
This was our camp site at Zion. We could have had several tents in our site, it was huge! But remember that it was 115 during the day on our trip, and at night it was 95 degrees, so it was pretty tough
Zion National Park Video
There is a tunnel on the road through Zion that we wanted to show you so we turned on the video camera and put something together. The best part about leaving a camera running is that you get to hear how

Teeth Whitening in the Mall
It is so bizarre to see people getting their teeth whitened in the mall. What makes it even funnier is that their lips are all pulled back like they are standing in a wind tunnel, they are drooling and
Finally a faster blog!
You may have noticed how slow the blog was getting recently, and to be honest I am not really sure why it was slow. Our traffic was getting pretty high but it still didn\’t justify the site being as slow
