Day 7: Roadtrip Colorado to California

Well I cant believe that its the end of our 8 day trip already, it seems like just yesterday that we packed up and hit the road to Colorado and now were already packing and ready to hit the road back home to California. I packed majority of the things the night before so it made it easier for us to hit the road the next day. Friday morning we all woke up, ate alittle breakfast, checked out of the motel, and packed up the car. The car ride home was actually easier than I had expected. Everyone is always so excited on the way there but the ride home usually feels like an eternity; however this time it didn't. We had the luxury of nice blue skies and pretty easy roads on the return. The views were still as amazing as we saw on the way there. This time was nicer thou because it was daylight and we got to see everything all the way to Mesquite, Nv. On the way there it was dark almost until we got to the Colorado border so the daylight also helped us drive wise and we were able to do the speed limit the whole way instead of going slower. We stopped along the way for gas in Grand Junction, Richfield, and in Mesquite to get dinner. I'm sure we stopped 1-2 more times but I cant really remember where. Ethan did amazing this time as well in fact he did better because he was awake longer and still managed to be good and stay happy. He took 2 small mini naps that lasted about an hr each but the rest of the time we played, sang songs, looked for live stock, he watched movies, and played with his Itouch. We were very happy to be home and to see Abby but we also wish we could have stayed in Colorado forever. It truly is an amazing place even if you are only visiting. We will definitely return again whether it be to live to just to visit. I hope you all enjoyed going along with us day to day, it'll probably be a while before we get another vacation like this!
