On the Road

On the road after too many tearful goodbyes. We put on a happy face and began our voyage to our new home.

Here we go.

We decided to take the Northern route which took us on the 80 past Tahoe and Reno and on to our first stop in Elko. 

Elko is a town that exists in Nevada.

We stayed in a hotel room with a view of a casino.

The next day we made our way to Salt Lake City. It wasn't a long drive and then we got to see cousin Katie and her new house!

The best antidote for a long ride in the car is a hike in the nearby mountains.

Katie was kind enough to show us this sweet trail.

Happy hikers.

Cool waterfall!

Dexter approves.

Hello from the other side of the river.

Fun with Katie.

Because Mormons don't like to have fireworks on Sunday, 4th of July celebrations were happening a day early. Lucky for us, we were staying right next to a fireworks hotspot.

Setting up for fireworks excitement.

Look at that.

Cool!
