Cross Country Journal: Heading Home

Our incredible adventure was technically over except for the long drive home looming before us.  We found ourselves in Albuquerque, NM but had to make it back to Raleigh, NC. Three long days of driving. Thankfully we had a few stops planned for our trip home to give us something to look forward to. Our first one was in Oklahoma…

Cross Country Journal Day 12: Mesa Verde

In second grade, my husband saw a picture of Mesa Verde in his history textbook.  The image and information intrigued him.  His fascination never ended. The images of the cliff dwellings stayed with him so that when he heard we were going out west, he immediately asked if we would be close to Mesa Verde….

Cross Country Journal Days 10 and 11: Arches National Park

It was time to leave Bryce Canyon. On a last minute whim we decided to take the scenic route and check out Capitol Reef National Park. We ventured out on a brief hike to take in a view of the park.  This park is a geologic monocline, which is a “wrinkle” on the surface of the earth.  This…

Our first evening in Zion National Park included lots of fun floating down the Virgin River on our new inner tubes.  Our second day in Zion began very early in the morning. Inspired by our time at the rock climbing gym, our family had booked a half day rock climbing tour in Zion.  It was a fantastic…

Cross Country Journal – Day 6 Antelope Canyon

Breakfast this morning was lacking any hot food, but we made it work and then headed out early to Antelope Canyon. You can’t tour the canyon on your own, so you have to book a tour.  Our tour was reserved for 10:20 AM, but we walked up at 8:50 AM to see if they could…

Cross Country Journal Day 5 – Grand Canyon

Upon waking in our caboose at 5:30 AM, I peeked out the window to see frost on the ground! It was COLD out there. I cozied up in my bed again and tried to fall back asleep. No success. Another early morning for Mommy. Once everyone was moving around we started getting ready. The kids…
