This weekend we were off for a good old Road Trip! 852.4 miles in 2 days... Bless you Meg for having cruise control! I'm not a very good long distance driver, but we discovered a secret that allows me to be an awesome driver... I easily drove more than half of the way. What is this secret, you may ask? Read me Harry Potter and I'll drive forever.
Friday we left right after work and drove all the way to a campground 8 miles north of Monticello, UT. We got there around 10:00, so we used our car lights to set up the tent. The next morning we woke up, put on our church clothes, and headed to the Monticello Temple for a session. Then we were off to the 4 Corners Monument. There were a lot of people waiting in line, so we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to take lots of creative pictures in the four states. But we had a friendly family from Pennsylvania snap a few pictures and then we were back on the road.
The next stop was Monument Valley. It was beautiful! But by that time Rog had broken the number 1 rule of taking care of a Chief... I was starving and nothing but a Navajo Taco would satisfy me. We finally found a restaurant that was open at 4:00 in the afternoon, served Navajo Tacos, and took credit (not as easy as you might think)! Seriously, if you ever venture down to this area of the state, BRING CASH!! We had a good laugh over the "power sugar" they gave us when we asked for powder sugar. We bought a magnet and were on our way. We made a quick stop at Newspaper Rock and headed home. We pulled into our parking lot at about 11:40, exhausted, but happy after another wonderful adventure of Rog and Chief!
