Last year we hit Mt Rushmore, The Badlands, and Devil's Tower. This year we made our way south to a once GRAND portion of Route 66, The GRAND Canyon, and Kolob Canyon which is near the GRAND Staircase.
A portion of Route 66
In honor of the movie Cars, which was filmed on location along Route 66, I ask you the following question: If you were a car what kind of car would you be? And is that car the same as your favorite car? I'd be a Toyota Tacoma or a Jeep Cherokee. But my favorite car right now is that sexy 2010 Mustang. A few weeks ago my bishop got a new 2010 Mustang (white with a blue stripe), I think it is the only on in Logan. I'd never seen one before and I felt a welling of envy bubble up inside me. On this trip the 'stangs were out in full force. I guess everyone and their dog owns a 2o10 Mustang...almost makes me rethink whether I like it or not, but each time I see one I covet just a little bit. Cindy on the other hand would be a Jetta (she actually chose 2 cars, but I can't remember the other one), but her favorite car right now is a Dodge Challenger (also a very nice car, if I had to have one I wouldn't be sad). Once again, if we weren't being passed by a Mustang it was a Challenger making my little Saturn look even wimpier than it is. Everyone else and their dog had gone out and bought a new Challenger last weekend. I couldn't tell by all the fancy cars on the road that the economy is bad.A view of the Grand Canyon
Isn't that just beautiful? I wish my cell phone had 5megapix camera at the very least and the pictures could download larger...oh well, try clicking on the picture to see if it gets bigger. (Or maybe, if I am going to make some wishes, I should say that I wish my camera had a panoramic setting.)Next road trip you take try out this little game to pass the time:
This works really well as a 2-person game. You go through the alphabet and name the other person in the car a new name starting with each letter of the alphabet, they will do the same for you. It is really fun to see what the other person thinks of you by the names they think fit your person. You can reject the names they choose and they can pick another, but eventually you have to move on to the next letter whether you are satisfied or not.

I can't believe you blogged. Pam will be so happy.
The Challenger is also one of my favorite cars. My absolute favorite car is still the Auburn Boattail Speedster, but that's kinda tied with the McLaren F1, because how could I choose between those two?
But of new cars on the market now, I like the Challenger the most. Even though it lost out in a magazine test between it, the new Camaro, and the Mustang.
The Mustang won, you'll be pleased to know.
Hey, we have those cars. Not the 2010, but still.
If I was a car, I'd be a Mini Cooper. Which yes, is my favorite car, along with the VW bug, but I don't think I'm a bug.
Oh the grand canyon! Sure brings back memories of the glory days! I have got to go there again soon! Take me with you!
