Day 1...

Today we were so excited to get going that we were all up early... had breakfast... finished packing and hit the road just a little bit after 7 am. We were feeling pretty good about getting out on time…

About 2 ½ hours into our trip we realized in all the excitement of the morning we left ½ of our breakfast and lunch items in the FREEZER!!! Not too much of a biggie, a trip to Walmart will be able to fix it... but it was all the yummies that were left... homemade monster cookies, Costco muffins, etc.

We had a stop in Twin Falls to check out the canyon…it's large... and I can only imagine what the Grand Canyon will feel like in a week.

It was a relatively short drive for the 9 hours spent driving today. We made it through just about all of Nevada... which is covered mostly with sagebrush, but Wells, NV was beautiful with big snow covered mountains.

The stop for tonight was in Fernley, NV... the 9 hour drive went pretty quick… and the kiddos were super excited to head to the pool, have dinner in bed with a Disney movie and lounge…
