Second day of driving was a mixed bag; the stretch through northern and central Utah is not my favorite. Lots of traffic and city stuff. But then we were rewarded in southern Utah with what must be some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. We only had a small taste of Arches National Park but we will be back. It rocked. And one more tip for keeping your roadtrip/family camping vacation interesting: try not getting to your campsite until after dark - preferably after 10 pm when it is quiet time at the campground with two hungry and road weary kiddos. And try to forget to bring your mallet to pound in the tent stakes because that was a fun touch...
The last day of our drive there was great, starting with a much-needed stop in Moab for some good food - at a little cafe called World Peace or something like that... Smoothies and burritos were a perfect snack before we went tumbling through some very small and curvy backroads, making our way to my sister Em & brother-in-law Kris's house in Gypsum, Colorado (near Vail). They and their boys, Max (3) and Teagan (2 mos), were a sight for sore eyes - really they are all just gorgeous and glowing, but more on that another day.
