Journey's End

Well the best way to sum up this trip was AMAZING! We had no idea in less than one month I would have a new job and the pace we had been keeping would be forever changed! I truly believe that GOD allowed this trip to take place because he knew what was in store and how crazy the next year would be for us! Thank you to everyone who had a part in helping to plan our trip.. it was all great advice and made the trip that much more special!

Trip Day 26














What a way to end a vacation, but with the Russell's! It was great spending time with Terry, Nancy, Caleb and with Jennifer and her 3 kids. Wished we could have stayed longer , but home was a calling!






Trip Day 23/24














What a beuatiful family my sister Nikki has...Amanda, Morgan and Nicholas! We had a really good time. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Trip Day 22 Part 1










This was not Pete's favorite place. It smelled horrible!!!!! From here Pete was on a mission.. to drive all the way across Texas! So much for stopping in Dallas.. I got to see the big city lights does that count? We stopped somewhere for the night! (I think around midnight.) Tomorrow we will be headed to my sister's in Alabama!




The Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert..beautiful but in Sammy's words...BORING!!! Leave it to Pete to find some rust in the National Forest!!




Trip Day 21 part 2




Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona..such a fine sight to see....


We were just passing through and both of us being fans of the group the Eagles..we just had to stop. We all got a souvenir and headed back to the open roads! On the road again.....

Trip Day 22











Meteor Crater- Sammy had heard Noah talk about this so we just had to stop. It was pretty interesting!




Trip Day 21





































We stayed in Flagstaff while we visited the Grand Canyon and Sedona. We ate these corn dog things and that the guy was makign int he top picture. Sedona is beautiful country!

Trip Day 20

























WOW! GOD is so amazing... words can describe the awesomeness(is this a word???) of this sight! We stopped at the store coming in and bought sandwhiches for lunch. Whatever you do..don't drop your food..just ask Sammy, there will be critters eating it before you can pick it up to throw it away. NO 5 second rule allowed!
