Road Trip

Our family has driven to Colorado too many times to count.  It's about 12 hours with bathroom and food stops and not too bad with a DVD player.  So why not go further right!  I don't know what we're thinking, but we have decided to drive to Arizona this summer to visit family and to see the Grand Canyon.  The kids are very excited!  We don't take a lot of family vacations.  This trip has been talked about since Christmas and the week has come.  We will head out this week to 110 degree weather and hours and hours of movies.  We have read that the drive is 21 hours.  We plan to hurry out in 2 days, but then take it slow coming home.  We are going through OK and NM, instead of CO.  It sounds like an easy drive so far.  We're all in need of a small break from normalcy here.  I'm hoping that need and excitement will keep us going those first 14 hours....We'll post pics when we get back.
