Road Trips and New Places


It seems like just yesterday we were preparing to move to Michigan and had the whole summer ahead of us. Now I find that it's suddenly fall and I haven't blogged in months. Of course we've been busy living life during that time, but I felt I should at least give you the highlights in pictures.


We drove across country from Arizona to Michigan at the beginning of June. We being me, my husband, our three daughters, three dogs, and two cats. Originally we planned to make the trip in four days. Driving with that many beings in a vehicle was so much fun (insert sarcasm here), that we decided to drive a little longer (like 6 hours a day) after the first day, so that we could get to Michigan in only three days. Here are some pictures from our trip.


Have you ever heard that things are bigger in Texas? Well if this cow (bull?) is any indication, that might be true. He was however a little camera shy and started walking the other way when I tried to get his picture.


Sticking with the big in Texas theme, this cross was huge.


Then of course there are your oddities on the road. I think this guy needs a few more bumper stickers. What do you think? He's got a little patch of window there on the right he still may be able to see out of.


Texas doesn't have a monopoly on big things though. The world's largest rocking chair is in Missouri.


Nice custom tail lights.


St Louis Arch. We didn't stop.


By the time we got to Illinois and came across another giant cross, I was beginning to think that Texas didn't have a lock on all things large.


And Finally, we made it to Michigan.
