The morning after our two days at Disney we hit the road for Colorado so we could see the Peterman’s. It took us two days to get there with an overnight stop in Utah. We saw A LOT of amazing views. I have never been to Utah, but have always heard about it’s beauty. We woke up in the hotel in Utah to snow on the ground. We didn’t have any coats with us because when we left TX a week earlier snow wasn’t in the forecast. Here are some of the photos we took on the two day drive.

In April we took a long and winding road trip to California for my sisters wedding and other adventures. These photos are from Day 1 (16.5 hours in the car) and Day 2 (10.5 hours in the car). I know I have said it before, but our children are “Road Warriors” and such good travelers.

Our first stop was at the Herring Coffee Shop in Vernon, Texas. It had good reviews and was the only place for miles. It was tiny and delicious. And they loved our girls so much that they sent us on down the road with some of their fried pies. Oh my goodness! They were amazing. Dani the foodie gave it a thumbs up, especially the thick cut bacon.

After driving for what felt like forever we made it to New Mexico.

One of many potty breaks.

I tried to work on Dani’s blanket while Mike drove.

Crossed into Arizona and kept heading for Flagstaff. We stayed the night at a Choice Hotel there and tried to get some sleep after such a long day.

Halfway through day 2 they were beat.

The second day was much harder than the first even though it was shorter so we made a really long stop for the girls to get the wiggles out. They had a great time climbing all over these rocks. Then we made our way on to California.

Disney knows how to make money and the Photo Pass is a great example of that. But it’s worth every penny to get family shots all over the parks. You don’t have to bother strangers to get those photos and they have all the add on backgrounds available. It’s just a great idea all around.

The girls have fun wherever they go!

On our way to Disneyland we stopped to spend time with my Grandma Petlow.

I love how happy my Grandma looks here watching the girls play.
