Delayed Day 6: June 13, 2009
Stick to the Itinerary! by Kristine
And so .. I am the only one left updating. I just looked at the previous days and realized, I completely forgot to put up the 4 Corners pictures. Just so you know, they are wonderful (:
On June 13 - we did not update for good reason. We were all exhausted. We woke up at 8AM for the Hermit’s Rest Grand Canyon tour. We went to the same part of the Grand...

Showers - check. Continental breakfast - check. Engine fluids - dangit.
After doing some car maintenance, we headed on the open road to the Four Corners Monument. And people say they can’t be in two places at once - we were at FOUR! Our trip to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah was as long as a mere snap of a photograph. We had some...

Stick to the Itinerary! by Kristine
We got off to an early start - woke up early, early showers, early continental breakfast, but somehow — SOMEHOW .. we left three hours behind schedule!

We ate crepes at a placed called “Crepes in the City.” Oh man, so delicious. Maynard...

We all pleasantly woke up earlier than need-be in the morning. Unfortunately, it was multiple times throughout the morning. Perhaps we were excited?
Mev took us to “The Flying Biscuit” in Atlanta or “the place where JT eats when he has breakfast in Atlanta.” It makes you stop and think - just how often does JT come by? The food...
Day 1: Monday, June 8, 2009
Stick to the Itinerary! by Kristine
Today we started our road trip. We may have gotten cheated on the car rental, but we are just going with the flow and hoping for the best. After one day of driving and fast food (McDonalds & Waffle House), we arrived in the ATL and met up with Mev. She took us to a Braves game (Maynard and Myron’s first baseball game!) where the first hit we saw was a...
