National Parks: Part 1

Part of our big move included Andy and Talmage driving a car full of junk stuff we couldn't live without and Wicket (our dog) to Utah. Some of the highlights:

• Packing literally every inch of a 13 year-old Accord to see if it could make it through a 1600 mile road trip...it did make it but it will never be the same.
• Somehow carving out a space big enough for Wicket to sit on top of...he was able to enlarge his space to include Andy's head and neck at times.
• Apparently a stay at two of the ickiest hotels in America.  Andy says that it is good I wasn't there - yes, I agree.
• Stopping at 4 National Parks.
• A little frustration about the amount of time spent taking pictures (I hear you)
• Lots of great conversations and quality time for the boys.

All in all, I think it was a great experience for the two of them - I hope all of my kids get a chance like this.

 Pooped out.  He was such a trooper - it was a long trip and he didn't complain about anything...except the picture taking.

 I'm not exactly sure what this picture is of...but if I had been there this is the look I would have been giving Andy when he pulled out his camera for another round :)

 If you look you can see Wicket wedged into the back seat - this is how we roll.

Love this pic of the two boys.
