A week ago Matt and I started our trek home. Since we'd already put 15,000+ miles on the car this summer, we decided to add another 2,000 and drive home from Atlanta instead of shipping our car. It was a much cheaper option. It was actually KIND OF (notice the emphasis, I'm trying to remain positive about the situation) fun to see Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and of course the familiar sites of UTAH!
The packed car..
Our first stop was downtown Atlanta. No, we didn't get very far. But we had to stop at the famous Georgia Aquarium before we officially left the city. It did not disappoint, and we saw many fish that we'd never even heard of before.
One bonus of the trip is that we got to stop in Dallas and see Maddie and Matt. We went kayaking (so entertaining when Matt Crane fell in the lake), and to a delicious Mexican restaurant.
Next stop...Gallup, New Mexico. Our activities there were not picture worthy. Just staying at a crummy motel.
Luckily, the next day we drove five more hours and arrived at Lake Powell! We got to take a rest from driving for about five days and spend time with family on the lake. It was heavenly. A big thanks to the Robisons for inviting us along.
On Friday night we finally arrived in Utah. We celebrated with Matt's family by going up the canyon for some smores.
We are so excited to be home!

How fun that you got to stop at all those places??! That definately makes the long road trip worth it ha ha! Don't worry that this will be my THIRD time driving across the country ha ha! But I'm excited to get to stop in Louisiana! I've always wanted to go there! I'm sad that we barely missed each other this summer, with us moving to Georgia! But thank goodness the summer is almost over! Yay! And we will all HAVE to get together when we get back to Utah! And by the way you are the cutest little pregnant woman ever! I can't wait to see you! :) Miss you guys lots and lots!
