The Scenic Beauties of America

On the way home I decided to be more vigilant in taking scenic pictures of our trip. So without futher ado here are the beauties of America!

The Utah mountains with their snowcovered peaks.
The windmills of Wyoming that Tye just thought were absolutely enthrawling!
The rock formations in Wyoming.

I missed taking pictures of the HORRID snowstorm we actually went through in Denver. It was the middle of the night (like 2am) and I was driving (I wasn't thinking about anything besides staying on the road). Of course we had quite the deal, we missed the turn off on the toll road to go to I-80, so then had to pay the toll at the stupid baskets. Well I hucked the coins in and nothing happened. I realized they got stuck IN the snow on the basket. I had to get out in the major snow and fish them out and put them directly into the machine. Then getting back on the toll road to get off at the right exit I put them directly in the machine (to save myself the hassle) and they STILL didn't go down!! ARGH!!!!!! I had to PUSH them in with my hand! Surprised I didn't get eaten by the machine!! lol
The St. Louis Arch. One day I hope to go back and actually take a tour or whatever it is you can do there!
The mountains and the beautiful changing leaves of Tennessee.

A race car crazed fan with stickers ALL over their fan! Holy cow, I have never seen so many stickers on a car in my whole life! It was absolutely insane!!! (Not sure if you can tell in this picture or not but it was raining soooo hard. It was very difficult to see the road and therefore we ended up in stop and go traffic SEVERAL times!)


This was the most gorgeous tree at a rest stop in Georgia! Look how beautiful the colors are!!!

This was Tye's favorite thing to do on the way home. I just kept popping in new movies and we were all happy campers! lol Lesson learned!!!

Not sure if you can tell or not, but it is pitch black outside and we are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Basically the entire way from Atlanta home. A normal 8 hour trip took us about 11!!! UGH we were sooooo tired when we finally got home. We didn't unpack we just CRASHED! Other than that it was an excellent trip!
