Roadtrip -I'm so excited!!!!!!!
Wheeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're off as soon as we can get the car packed and grab a couple of hours kip. Just brought home a brand spanking new roofbox so the family can actually have a bit of legroom on this, our longest trip so far, to the Grand Canyon and Salt Lake City. The projected first stop is St Louis, MO, where we are hoping to arrive in time to catch the brewery tour. THE brewery  . We're headed towards Santa Fe before the GC, then hopefully we'll have time and energy to do a drive-by of the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas, before heading north through the breathtaking national parks to SLC. No we're not Mormon, just curious  Did I mention being excited? three weeks Byeeee

We're coming back through Nebraska. Last time I reached a steady 110 on one stretch, but we didn't have the roofbox then. Maybe this time we'll achieve lift off.......Not taking no chances in the tourist areas, though.....

Utah has some great parks, Bryce Canyon is my favorite, I think. Max scenery for minimum walking and time. There are several other great parks.

We're still not there yet! we left much later than hoped (but not than realistically imagined) and are staying an hour east in Vandalia. We plan to be at the Budweiser tour gates when it opens at 11:30 tomorrow! Then onwards to Oklahoma
