Hey all! Sorry we're a couple days behind getting this blog up, but we'll get you all up to speed. Well just as we figured out Utah's complicated-to-figure-out-but-easy-to-understand-once-you-do street numbering system, we left. We had a loooonnnnng drive to Denver on Friday. Left Salt Lake a little later than planned 'cause we stopped in Provo and took in the sites of the BYU campus. Once on the road we enjoyed the mostly sunny drive and the beautiful scenery. We stopped a few times in such beautiful places as Grand Junction and Vail to stretch our legs and eat. Rhett's real excited now that we're back in Chick-Fil-A country! :) Once up into the Rockies we passed through a couple major thunderstorms, but there was a double rainbow!! (LOL for those of you who have seen the video on YouTube).
We went over two mountain passes in the Rockies, the tallest of which was at about 11,600 feet. Sasha (the car) was not impressed. Once we got up over about 8,500 feet she was struggling. Joe just had to drop her down a couple gears and give her some extra gas but she made it. She did real good :)
We finally rolled into Denver about 10:30 Friday night, very tired and ready to be out of the car and very thankful that our friends Eric & Trey had a hot tub :)
After the hot tub and chocolate cake it was off to bed in the cool Rocky Mtn night air ahhhh....
To take in the sights? What sights were those? hahaha
