Road Trip

So if you've been wondering where we are and have been since graduation, here is a recap:

Monday-packed up our PODS
Tuesday-Drove across Iowa and eastern Nebraska (BORING) Wednesday-Finished the dull Nebraska drive and made it to Grand Junction, Colorado. We loved the drive through Denver and the kids LOVED the Eisenhower Tunnel. Thursday-Journeyed through south-eastern Utah by way of Monument Valley-AMAZING! and Mexican Hat to our old home of FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA.
Flagstaff was the best stop yet-no disapointments. We went and saw our old home at Campus Heights Family Housing, the new hotel and eco-building and strolled down campus walkways. We ate at our favorite Thai food restaurant (The Little Thai Kitchen), stayed at a nice clean hotel with an indoor heated swimming pool. It was fun to go back and remember the many memories we made there. Lorili was so excited to drive down Route 66 in Flagstaff Arizona where she was born. Ever since the movie Cars came out she loves the song "Get your kicks on Route 66." And does any one know what significance this gas station holds????


This is an historical landmark- this is the place Thor and I met! Yep, this is where we were introduced almost 8 years ago.

We made it to Yuma on Friday and have been catching up on the news. It seems we left Iowa City in the nick of time. Iowa City is flooding bad and our prayers and thoughts go out to those of you who are displace and dealing with this catastrophy. We miss you!

So, GP in Yuma? Are you associating, becoming partner? What are your plans? You gonna work with Garner? You are going to love working, so much better than school. It's nice to see your family again too.

Let me know what you are up to,
Jeff

I am so happy you made it out of Iowa just in time. Grandpa was making me crazy with all the weather channel news!
I am so pround of your little family and all that you have accomplished these many years, together. I have never seen your dad look so teary eyed, except maybe when he found out he was having a BOY!!!
I really enjoyed spending time with you there, Gabe, the salsa is waiting and Lorili, so are new shoes and a matching purse!
Love to you all, MOM

Sounds like a fun trip! I'm excited to see your boating pictures, or are you not posting them because you're in your yellow polka dot bikini?
