Snaps from the Roadtrip

From Portland to Denver, so much can happen! It was a lot of nothingness speckled with lots of amazingly beautiful scenery, especially in Utah. Here are some snaps!

Tricia posing with her packed car, holding a stickie note from Mom

attempting to get a shot of her car full of her belongings but failing!

Tricia learns to pump gas! Yes, us Oregonians have no clue how to pump our own gas.

The majority of Oregon, Idaho & Wyoming looks like this. A whole lot of nothing!

as we approached Utah we started to see some beautiful mountains
beautiful mountains in Utah!

taking photos while driving is my thing

Welcome to Wyoming, the longest stretch of nothing you'll ever see. Except for Texas, I've been told.
the little Nissan Suzuki made it up this hill! Yeah! Go lil Suz!

Home Stretch!

Possibly my favorite treat of the trip, and probably just life in general right now. Unsalted peanut butter filled pretzels from Trader Joe's paired with exactly two M&M's in the same bite. They key is pairing these together! delish.

and....we're here!

approaching downtown Denver
My favorite moment of the trip was this stretch of mountains where it appeared like we were entering a mountain crevice and there were huge snow covered mountains on each side of us. It was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I loved Utah but was pretty bored in Wyoming! We drove from Portland to Layton, UT in 12 hours and stayed the night in a Comfort Inn. Then we drove for about 9 hours all the way to Denver. I'm glad I got the chance to road trip, I just wish I didn't have to leave Tricia there! I will miss that girl, but I know she's got a good life ahead of her in Denver.
