Day 1 Roadtrip SW

Colorado Springs, Colorado to Moab, Utah.
Distance: 400 Miles Approx Travel Time: 7.5 Hours

Well after driving for 7.5 hours (had to stop for Sonic!) through the mountains of Colorado, we arrived in Utah only to be greeted by 60 mph winds and tumbleweeds as big as queen size beds. It was like Frogger driving and dodging the mighty tumbleweeds, and min sand storms. Moab is amazingly beautiful. It is like Garden of the Gods in Co. Springs only 100 times bigger! We ate dinner at Zax's restaurant and had the all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar. It was spendy but we feel we got our moneys worth after multiple trips to the pizza bar. We ran into Sean and Jen from our Bible Study at the restuarant, what a coincidence. We took a mini tour at sundown of the beginning of Arches National Park. We are looking forward to a day of hiking and picture taking tomorrow in the park. It is insanely beautiful (like my wife). Baby Bronson has enjoyed the trip as well. He has been good for the most part, kicking mommy's tummy only once this morning. Overall he is enjoying the experience. We can't wait (ok we can wait 3 more months so he is fully cooked) for him to come join us!
