We weren't even planning to arrive home till this evening. The original plan was: leave St. George yesterday afternoon and stay the night in Green River or Grand Junction to break up the drive. Do some work this morning, and finish the drive around 5:00. But somewhere between the two towns, we decided to power through — loaded up on snacks and caffeine — and parked in our very own garage at 1:00 am.
Best decision ever.
It feels good to have a full day at home. To sit at my desk. Unpack the car. Start the laundry. We stopped by open gymnastics today and dropped off the roadtrip-books-on-CD at the library. Even grocery shopping sounds appealing. I feel like I haven't been home in ages.
The drive between St. George and Denver is spectacular. A geologist's fantasy land. "Scenic View" exits dot the freeway almost every hour — we took these pics at one of them.

Love to all the darling Blairs.
Such nice photos...and how different from you "Say Good-bye to NY Central Park" photos!
Love family road trips. We have done that same drive several times and it never ceases to stun me with its beauty.
Hey, is that rock in the first picture Green River fossil fish? A couple years ago we did a Salt Lake City to Yellowstone and back loop, and collecting fossils was the unexpected highlight of our trip. We went to Warwick Quarry where there was a wonderful father/son team manning the quarry. We ended shipping home 80lbs of fossils UPS!
