This morning we packed up and headed out. Most of the drive from Phoenix to Orem was stunning, but uneventful.
We stopped for a few minutes at the Glen Canyon Dam, and Ian and Kimball walked across it while I snagged a few photos.
I love driving through the day and watching the sunset as I drive. Today it was especially beautiful.
The kids are definitely getting used to being in the car. And they have done really well.
My dad kept checking in with us to see how the weather was holding up. I kept telling him to at everything was great. Not a cloud in the sky.
We stopped for dinner in Beaver, and when we started up again, the snowflakes started coming. At first it was just a flurry, but soon it turned into a massive snowstorm, and we slowed to a crawl. It was really dicey for about 3-4 hours until we got to Mom and Dad’s house. I was so grateful to make it.
As we pulled in front of their house, I checked through trip timer on the car. Since leaving Orem with this new Sequoia, we have driven for over 84 hours and covered 3098 miles. That’s not counting the 26 hours or 1600 miles from Michigan to Utah. We’ve definitely covered some ground :)
