Clearly, if you’ve been a follower of my blog for a while, you know I love road trips. I think Graham and I have been on four major road trips (including this one) in the last five years… this time, we’re tackling the mid & south-west United States. We’re traveling through no less than 20 of the 50 states in the US with more extended stays in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico… Major road trip.

It’s been about a week into our trip and we’ve seen some pretty amazing sights… it’s crazy how the landscape can change so dramatically over what seems to be small amounts of time. But then again, Graham’s doing a lot of the driving (he says he enjoys it!) so I get to sit back and take in the gorgeous scenery… and update my blog.

Update on the itinerary so far (and some of this has been decided on the fly… cuz that’s just how we roll)… Michigan for a family reunion, then on to Yellowstone National Park, onward to Salt Lake City where we swam (floated) in Great Salt Lake at Antelope Island State Park (it really is that salty!), checked out the Bonneville Salt Flats in west Utah and now it’s onward to Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park and Las Vegas, baby!

Some snippets of images from along the way… I’ll be sure to update more at a later time!

UPDATE: I’m actually in Vegas now… at the amazing Aria Resort & Casino on the Strip… I’ll update the blog later with images from Bryce, Zion and Vegas onward!

Textures! This trip is all about texturelicious textures… more to come in future posts!

UPDATE part 2: The second half of the trip can be seen HERE!
