Vegas Baby!

We made it to Vegas! The drive here from Arizona was sooo beautiful. The plan was to visit the Hoover Dam before hitting Vegas, but the oh so sweet security guards wouldn't let us go through with our trailer... Yea pretty dumb. But we are here, enjoying our Vegas sweet, and getting ready to hit the town for some grub!

Grand Canyon...take two!

It's a beautiful day in the Grand Canyon! Still very cold, but the sun is out and the fog has cleared. So glad we came here, the scene is just amazing!

Grand Canyon...take one!

We have arrived at the Grand Canyon! The only problem is the blizzard is apparently following us and with all the snow and moisture the canyon is very foggy today. So we are staying the night in the booming metropolis that resides nearby (sarcasm here). We are staying in the "Red Feather Inn" in this little tourist town that is sleepy during the winter months. Paul was however very excited to be calling it quits early this evening so he could catch his beloved Tar Heels play Miami :) though the vast view was still breathtaking we're hoping tomorrow's weather clears so we can see the Canyon in all it's glory.

Western Landscape

Loving the west :)

AZ

Now in Arizona...heading toward the Grand Canyon! I made Paul stop along the way when I saw a bunch of old cars covered in snow. Love things like this!

New Mexico Blizzard

We were on our way through New Mexico when a mini blizzard hit! It has been a very...Interesting night to say the least. There was some light snow flurries along the way, then all of a sudden the road became one huge sheet of glass and there were cars everywhere that had slid off the highway. The road was pure ice, and the snow progressively became heavier. Seeing the numerous cars busted up or laying on their sides, I prayed the whole time! We were still 50 miles out from any town and there was nowhere to go but forward. Paul drove us through like a champ and God kept our tires on the road the whole time! So happy to be safe in sound in bed tonight! Who knew we would face a winter storm in New Mexico?

Just crossed into New Mexico! 1600 miles down, over half way there!
