We left Friday after work around 3:30 Arizona time and headed to Kanab, Ut. Our first stop was in Flagstaff for dinner. I was extremely excited for scenery that included mountains and trees instead of cactus.
We got to our hotel around 11:00 Utah time and found a bunch of bikers awaiting our arrival ;)
Saturday morning we drove to my mom's house for breakfast, I took this along the way, just enjoying more mountain/fall scenery.

We drove to Lehi and met up with 9 of Jake's family members for dinner, then headed to the game.
After getting to our seats I realized this was the first football game we had attended since getting married so we took a picture to cocommemorate.
The game ended around midnight and we had a two hour drive to my mom's house. It took us about half an hour to get to our car and on the freeway so we were home and in bed by 2:30. Sunday morning we woke up, had breakfast, showered, and got back in the car to head home.
We took a detour through Kanab National Forest and Jacob lake on our way home since part of our highway is closed and we didn't enjoy the detour we had taken through Tuba city on the way into Utah Friday night. We got up to 7000 feet and that made for some spectacular scenery again!
We got home, started laundry, and collapsed on the couch by 7:30 Arizona time after spending about 21 hours in the car over the last 2 and a half days. Even though it was mildly exhausting it was a lot of fun to see family and go to the game and road trip together!
Looks like it was a lot of fun! Too bad I'm not still in the "windy city" (okay more like town) and didn't get to see you. We totally would have met you Kanab for a quick hello; especially since Karl's grandparents live there. It would have been an great two-for-one! Thanks for the post! Love seeing your sweet face!! XOXO!
