After my two boys got out of school for the summer it was time to debark on an adventure. My Outschool classes ended on Saturday, June 18th so we decided to get out of Dodge for an epic 10 day road trip.

Last year we went up the west Coast and covered San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and The Red Woods National Forest on the way down. This year we would conquer the American Southwest. Destinations were The Grand Canyon in Arizona, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Denver, Colorado, Moab, Utah, and a stop in Las Vegas, Nevada to celebrate. Each location was an average of 6 1/2 hours apart with the exception being home to The Grand Canyon (8 hours) and Las Vegas to Home (about 4 hours). I was determined to make this work!
