Day 3: Colorado

"W" actually took this picture as we were driving. I was totally impressed by how clear it came out.

When I think of Colorado I always think of the Rocky Mountains, but Eastern Colorado is rolling hills and lush farm land. So different from the West side of the Rockies.

Day 2: Desert


About halfway across UT we entered a beautiful desert. As I contemplated the vast emptiness of the desert my thoughts turned to the trouble we had earlier with the car. I quickly thanked Heavenly Father for breaking down in Richfield and NOT here.

I had to stop and take some pictures of this magnificent place so that I would never forget how mindful God is of his children.

The West is so beautiful. I will miss it.




The Break Down

day 2:

We left St. George around 4 am. We drove to Richfield, UT where we decided to stop for breakfast at a Mcdonald's.

We hit the drive through and decided to eat in the parking lot because the kids were in their pajamas. That is when the 'fun" began.

First, baby :E" poo'd through her diaper all over "W" and "W's" pillow (haha). Then the car wouldn't start. So there we are stuck in Richfield freaking out about not being able to get the car fixed in 1 day and missing every hotel reservation we had made for the entire trip.

Thankfully, Mike's Auto Clinic was across the street and was able to get us back on the road. They were awesome!! Thanks guys...you were life savers!
Our first stop was St. George, UT. We stayed with our good friends Ben and Amanda.

For dinner we totally went to Cafe Rio!! "W" and I miss Cafe Rio tons!! It was delicious
I started this blog to catalog The Boston Three Party's adventures here on the East.
I thought I would start with the move East. We traveled from California to Massachusetts with stops in Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, and Ohio.

Our final stop was Lowell, Ma. Home Sweet Home.
