See how dedicated I am? After driving 8 full hours today (and losing two hours due to time changes) I'm posting for yesterday and today, just for you. :)
A lovely view from the courtyard at the Meteor Crater museum.
Meteor Crater: Formed 50,000 years ago, it's 4,000 feet across and 550 feet deep! Don't jump, Aaron!
It's a little scary standing right on the edge.
Petrified Forest: This log is over 200 million years old!
A lovely view of the Painted Desert.
800 year old petroglyphs in the rock (scratched into the dark areas).
The Painted Desert - it really is very colorful!
Heading into New Mexico, hoping for some thunderstorm action!
On the road into Texas we saw a cattle drive!
The VD's made our mark at Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo.
Aaron found a can of spray paint! Awesome. So we marked up some more.
We're in Oklahoma City now at a really nice, brand-spankin'-new Days Inn. It's a welcome sight compared to the motels we stayed in the past two nights! Oklahoma is really beautiful (sorry, I don't have any good photos yet, it was pretty dark driving in, there are thunderstorms everywhere!), and I can't believe how green it is, grass covers EVERYTHING. It must be 100% humidity right now though, and we have to get up early to make it to the Royals game in Kansas City tomorrow, so we're staying in and hittin' the hay early tonight.
Good night!

Kitty!
Your trip blog is great! All your pics remind me of my family trips out west and how much fun we had! Hope you are enjoying yourself!
Great pictures Kitty! I am so jealous! I want to come!
So Noah offically started complaining last night how jeclous he is of you guys. When you get back if you could give us a good round number of what it would cost to do this type of adventure, that would be amazing!
