Vacation Part 3: Trekking Across the West

After visiting Aunt Carolyn and Great Granny, we began meandering our way to Denver for the wedding Saturday.  We stayed in Northern AZ in Monument Valley Tuesday night, driving along Oak Creek Canyon scenic byway to get there.  In the morning, we headed out on another scenic byway through Monument Valley and stopped in Moab, UT for lunch.  Another Scenic byway led us onto the main highway to Grand Junction, CO.  We stayed the night in Grand Junction and had a brief swimming adventure for Samuel.  Finally, Thursday, we drove into Denver, with a stop-off in Vail for lunch.  Vail was cute - could be a fun place to visit some other day :)

Samuel slept at least half of the time we were traveling.  The rest of the time, I sat in the back with him to help entertain him.  He was a champ during the drive.  We were so proud of the little guy.
