Road Trip: Valley of Fire.

When I realized that we were in the Valley of Fire I forced my dad to stop the car. I mean really... lava rock is so cool (no pun intended). Here are just a few photos from the little side trip. I wish we could have spent more time there, but we had to get going.

 I took a little piece of lava rock home with me.

It's hard to imagine that all of this rock was once lava! and came from way under the Earth's crust! Things like this fascinate me...

On another note. Today I discovered that my family own all the seasons of Planet Earth. We all know what i'll be doing this summer.

Amidst the craziness of moving. I completely forgot about Record Tuesday. I suppose I will post some music later today and call it Record Thursday for just this once... sorry.

Today was our third day on the road. I am so tired of being in the car right now. We are currently in the middle of nowhere Texas and I surprisingly have phone service. Basically I am trying to find something to occupy my endless amounts of road time... Why is Texas so big?! I mean really... Ok that was out of line... In all honesty, Texas should be bigger, and only a native born Texan would say that. All I am saying is that after a day and a half of driving we finally reach the Texas border and still have 10 hours to drive.

The following are some snapshots I took on my phone of our trip. I've been taking lots of pictures with my digital camera (and film camera). The plan is to post all of those pictures and adventure stories throughout the next week. I will also be introducing a new blog series!

Empty... Except for winter clothes.

Best. Place. Ever.

A road trip is not a road trip without an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen.
