So we're on the road, just got into Texas, and we've got about another hour to go before we stop, and I'm feeling EXTREMELY antsy, so I thought I'd do a blog on the fly. Hurray! We've reached the mid point of our little adventure, and so far it's really been a lot of fun. I've been snapping pictures just about every three minutes, getting excited at every mountain type thing I see. We'll probably have about 500 pictures by the time we're done, so everyone get ready for the most exciting slide show you've ever seen!!
We just passed through a cloud of stank, and I mean STANK. Jamie: "what is that smell! It smells like SKUNK." Pete: "Yeah skunk that's been burnt. That, or burnt pop corn." Uhh...okay! Now I'll probably smell skunk every time I sit down to enjoy my movie with a bowl of pop corn in my lap...thanks Pete.
Vegas was exciting, especially driving up to it; it felt like my first trip to Disney World. So sparkly. We stayed at the Luxor, (the pyramid shaped hotel with the big dog thing in front, what are those called? I feel dumb.) and our suite was very sweet. What a sweet suite. I wish we had gotten there a little bit earlier, but, I did get to eat L.A. Chinese food, and I was very happy about that, and Pete had to pack the car....twice. I can't believe he got everything in here. I was expecting to see him shove the last thing in, only to have the whole car bust it's seams and send Pete's stuff a flyin'!
So Pete's trying to tell me right now that we have another FOUR hours to go before we stop, he's such a funny guy. And he just found a rock in his pocket....weirdo.
But yeah we made it to Vegas, and spent our night walking around and checking everything out. I also spent the night accumulating about 5 blisters, one of which is the BIGGEST blister I've ever had, and maybe even ever seen. I named her Bertha. So as the night was ending I was only slightly uncomfortable because of that, and I had to walk around bare footed to avoid the pain. Classy class, that tis me! I played the slots and won two dollars and seventy five cents...ballah!!
Okay, now it smells like a circus in this car! We just realized we had the outside air coming in, NOT a good idea. Know what else is not a good idea? Rolling down the window to confirm that the dank smell of circus is actually not inside your car. Because it isn't. And now you've just blasted your face (Pete) and mine with ranky dank circus elephant poo air. We nearly crashed in panicked laughter. Good times! We really need to get out of this car soon, Pete's started his opera singing, and is now dancing (I think?), and I'm pretty sure we could both benefit from stopping and doing a couple laps around the car.
So then yesterday was the Grand Canyon, which is not false advertisement, that thing is Grand indeed. A little scary only because you could pretty much jump right in if you wanted to, I'd really be curious to know how often that happens. It was definitely worth the extra travel time, something I'm really glad I got to experience, and with Pete (awww)...special times, special times.
We saw the Meteor Crater in Arizona today something like 4000 feet across...say what?!
Okay, we're heading to the hotel, so I'm signing off for now. I'll have some pics up soon, but in the meantime, check out Pete's blog: petegrein.tumblr.com He's got a video up of Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Bumpin' Grein Productions....can ya dig it?
We can dig it.
