RV Advernture Day 2

Intro: Today we made it to Utah! It is very beautiful. We decided to go through the Zion Nation Park in order to go on our way. May I say it is one of the best ideas we've made so far. SCORE!! One point for Daddio. Read on for more info.

Day 2: Let me fill you in after my last post. For all you concerned readers, yes, I did manage to get my hotdogs back before they started gambling, but it was a close one though, they had the dice and everything ready to go. So we sang some songs, ate some food, then put out the fire and went to bed. Let’s just say that in the middle of the desert, in the summertime, you’d expect the nights to be nice and warm right. WRONG!!! I was freezing. FREEZING!!!! Not as in i wish i brought another blanket, as in I cannot move an inch without breaking some ice off my feet. In fact, Mom and Dad had a sheet, blanket, and a comforter!!!! They were nice and cozy all night. Jon and I had only one blanket. Jon had his winter blanket, and I had a very thin, worn out quilt!!! Talk about child abuse! And to make matters worse, Mom just HAD to forget to close ALL the windows which let in ALL the COLD air IN, and ALL the WARM air OUT!!!! In the middle of the night I finally couldn't take it any longer, I woke Jon up and we quickly closed all the windows, and huddled together under our two small blankets to keep warm. And thats where Mom and Dad found us asking, "You guys look like you just came back from Alaska, our room was nice and warm, wasn't yours too?" Well after about an hour of driving Jon and I finally thawed out enough to leave the bed to change into our frozen jeans. After about three hours of driving we entered Utah and man was it beautiful!! Let’s just say that if anyone doubted that God is here just go to Utah. In Utah we found some cool stuff, and we decided to drive through Zion Nation Park, it cost us about $40 to enter, $25 per car, and $15 for owning a over sized RV. Let’s just say that it was worth it. IT WAS WORTH MORE THAN $40!!! So don't complain if you ever get charged that much for an entrance. I will have some pictures either on this one or on a separate one. We liked Zion National Park so much that we decided to spend much of the day there. It was so beautiful. The greens, the browns, and the Shadow Squirrels, at least that is what Dad called them because they are the most dangerous animals in the park because they chew through backpacks, bags, and even your hand to get a hold of some food. The Grand Canyon was cool, but this was AMAZING!!! The water, the trees, the death dropping cliffs, and the bound to happen any second rock slides. We spent about 2 hours there when we only planned to spend 10 minutes driving through. Dad took a total of 102 pictures of the Zion Canyon. After we left we continued to drive to Utah's Salt Lakes to continue our Journey. On the way we stopped at Wal*Mart so Mom could cook dinner and Dad, Jon, and I went into the store to go shopping. Total Summery, went in with list with 15 items on it, came out with enough food to feed the entire Navy. Now I know why Mom doesn't send Dad on shopping trips very much. Lucky for us Mom used her magical powers to fit everything into the right places. When we had everything fixed up, Dad turned on the air conditioner, IT DIDN'T WORK!!! The air conditioner fuse blew. No air conditioner. Good thing we hadn't even left the Wal*Mart parking lot. :) Can you imagine our luck? Not so good actually. Wal*Mart had every fuse EXCEPT an air condition fuse. Another stroke of Good Luck, Radio Shack DID have a fuse. So now we are driving and I am getting sleepy, I am going to go to bed, night to all and enjoy the pictures that I will post on the separate post.
