Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend & Grand Canyon
After Day 1: Goblin Valley State Park & Natural Bridges National Monument, we woke up early enough to catch breakfast at the hotel, grabbed some coffee and gas, and hit the road towards Page, Arizona.

Day 2: Pensacola, FL to Tyler, TX
December 28, 2013 Today was our second day on the road. We hit 4 new states: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas! In my opinion, Alabama and Mississippi look a lot like Florida– flat and marshy. Louisiana we had some change in terrain such as more elevation and different types of trees and less water. Total […]
