Angels In Anaheim
Before I begin this post - let me get something out of the way: while I am, and always will be, a Yankees fan - I am also a fan of the great game of baseball. And so when I’m in the town of a Major League Baseball team I usually check to see if there is a game. I am not slipping over to the dark...

California!
Day 27 - 5/11 - Entering California! We spent our first day in California unsure that we were really in California as it was H-O-T and desert, the same miserable desert that we had been in for days. Not much change at the state line, unfortunately. We drove through Death Valley National Park - National...

Death Valley National Park

Our time in Las Vegas, Nevada this time around was much more laid back than a typical Las Vegas experience. We decided to take it slow and walk, that we weren’t in a hurry. We didn’t go to any shows or spend hours at the tables. We were just out to soak all of the glitz and glam in. We were...

Zion National Park
We spent the end of day 24 and the first half of day 25 at Zion National Park. Upon arrival we found it fitting that we had arrived from the Grand Canyon because Zion National Park feels a lot like the opposite of the Grand Canyon. At the Grand Canyon you stand at the top of the canyon rim and look...
