Well the first day is complete and we are in Nephi, Utah approx. 330 miles into our trip. So far we are traveling at a top speed of 52-54 mph w/ the trailers! Talk about the turtle and the tortoise going down the highway that is us. We had a completely safe trip today! (answered prayer:) We took off about 5am this morning and drove about 8 1/2 hrs w/ 4 stops. The Honda is averaging about 13 MPG, and the Toyota is averaging about 10 MPG (check out those stats Clint!) Our highest paid gas price was $4.54/gal. Utah has been a beautiful drive. We came up onto a mountain range of snow covered tops and Joshua was quick to say... "Daddy, Look it is Alaska!" Josh laughed and said, "Nope Buddy, you have to go to bed and wake up 10 more times and then when you see snow covered mtns that is Alaska.." He said nothing. Grandpa is doing well.... was very grumpy by the end of the days trip, but I don't think he slept at all last night. Our tribute to try to not eat fast food has survived the first day. We brown bagged breakfast and lunch and then walked to a family restaurant next to our hotel tonight.... homemade yeast rolls and pecan pie! YUM you don't get that at McDonalds! It was fun to step out of our comfort zone and visit w/ the locals. Well off to get some rest now. Check out todays pictures and we will be back online tomorrow w/ more adventures to share..... Love to all....3J's and Grandpa:)

HI guys. Glad the first day went well. I can't imagine how many activities Joyce has packed to keep Joshua occupied along the way. I'm praying things go smoothly again tomorrow.
