Roadtrip 2008: Day 1: Driving

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Welcome.  We left Seattle around 8:30am PT and arrived in Brigham City, just north of Salt Lake City, around 11:00pm MT. We were tired!  And then we discovered that the campground we’d planned to sleep at didn’t have our reservations waiting for us!  We were a little annoyed, so we decided to just picked a campsite and sort it out in the morning. Turns out, they had our reservations all along, but some other late night camper took ours, despite the fact that their name was not Brunet.  I had to apologize for our rude voicemail and note…

But the trip itself was uneventful.  Well…almost.

As you can see, my ponytail got WAY CURLY.  Other than that, it was just the usual:  desert bases, rock formations, and sunsets.  *yawn*

Now it’s time to check out the Great Salt Lake and head toward Dinosaur Monument.

Where Am I?

I don’t like reading personal updates, so I’ll make this as painless as possible.

I’m getting ready for muh lil vacation!  And it’s been the week from hell! The lack of sleep, the hundreds of dollars spent on car maintenance, the looming task of dropping Mr. Foofie off to Leah’s house…it’s a bit much.

But in 24 hours I will be on my way to Salt Lake City and swimming in butter (I won’t really be swimming in butter). I will do my best, depending on the availability of an Internet connection, to keep the site updated with our progress. OK?

What kinds of things should I try cooking on a campfire?
