fun times on the road

We have safely made it all the way to Page, Arizona in three days. So far it has been a lot of fun. The weather is Hot, Hot, Hot. Yesterday our temperature gage in the car reached up to 38 degrees.

So this is what we did so far...the first night we made it to Butte, Montana and the next morning we were out of there before the 4th of July parade started. People were lining up and saving their spots along the route just like us Calgarians do for the Stampede Parade. Then it was another day of driving to Springville, Utah. Unfortunately there was no gym at our hotel in Springville, so we had to wait till the evening to get my run in for that day, but everything worked out just fine (depite having to run after having a Margarita at Fiesta Mexicana in Page, Arizona). Yesterday was about a 6 hour drive to Page. By the end of the road trip the kids are needing to get out and move around as we all are. Before we got to our hotel in Page we took a tour of the Glen Canyon Dam, which was pretty neat. Ever since I have known Trevor he has had this huge interest in Dams and even though a Dam Tour was not something that I would jump for joy about I knew that Trevor really wanted to do it, so we decided to go behind the scenes for a 46 min tour. It was actually quite interesting and the 45 mins went by fairly quickly. We got to our hotel, checked in, and went for supper. Once we got back to the hotel Trevor and I went to the gym while Grandma took the children to the pool and then we went back to the room to settle for the night.

Today is a new day and we are off to the Grand Canyon. It has only been 4 years since we have last seen the canyon, however, Trevor's mom has not seen it in over 20 years (not that it changes much). The plan is a nice picnic there and then off to Flagstaff for some more good times. Tomorrow we are in Vegas for 3 nights and it will be nice to just be stettled somewhere for a few days. Well enough about the trip...I will hopefully post pics soon.
