Coco's First Time at the Beach

Earlier this summer we decided to hit the road once again...this time for a much shorter trip. Coco was ready to go the minute I packed our bag.

Needless to say, she loved California!

Two Marathons in Three Weeks

Just to say that I could...so I did...and I probably won't try that again.

Utah Valley Marathon

       

Across the USA: Week 5

For the final week of our trip, we headed straight for home while stopping at a few places.  I noticed this last leg has fewer pictures and even less with us in them...we were eager to be done. 

We drove briefly through New Orleans and visited the Lower Ninth Ward:

We stopped in Louisiana to see the Bayous...these pictures are of a community we came across built around waterways. This was such a fun stop and a little bit of a culture shock. We even ate crocodile! 

 

Along the South of Texas, we were able to take the car on a ferry.  This was pretty exciting to us.  We also went swimming at a beach--very relaxing after touring so many busy cities. 

We stopped in San Antonio, which is another one of my favorite places.  Below is The Alamo.

Then, just before heading back to Utah we visited Mesa Verde in Colorado.
