Then I wouldn't have to write so much at a time! Goodness,well, I left off at Star's right? Yes, well I discovered that I kinda like So You Think You Can Dance? when I was at Star's. Yup, I have succumbed to the reality TV. I probably won't watch it much though. Aside from that, not much else happened in Prescott. Sedona is beautiful, ans so is Jerome. The drive the the Grand Canyon was interesting... Its really quite sad what the white people have done to the Native Americans. The Grand Canyon is cool, but kinda to big to really grasp, if you understand what I mean. Camping near there was pretty cool. Then we drove to Utah, and stopped at a little RV park/tiny hotel thing and camped, drove through Zion Canyon because we didn't know you could only go up there (to the cool part) by bus, and by the time we realized, we had gone all the way up to the top on a really bumpy bad road and I did NOT want to drive down and back up again. So we drove the Bryce canyon and hiked around, which was really cool, and on the way out... we tried to take a short cut. That short cut didn't work out. It had rained that day, and the road was clay/dirt and sand in some places, as well as being UP hill. About five miles in we got scared by a wash thing that went right through the road, right before a sandy wet hill... so yeah, we turned around. We got to a placed called Bluff and had dinner at a restaurant called the Cottonwood, which my mother described as "A little Knott's Berry Farm!". Then I decided that I would drive, at night, to the next town. The next town was a LOT farther off than I thought lol. So we stopped at Four Corners in the middle of the night (it was only around ten miles out of the way). That was kinda fun actually lol Mom and I were the only ones up and we were kinda hysterical, but we saw the Milky Way... that... was really cool, it made me really happy :D. So we drove through Kansas a bit, got to Dodge City, looked for a camp site, in the middle of the night, in the middle of no where bug country Kansas lol. Our car was covered in bugs. And there wasn't a camp site. So we drove all the way back into town and stayed in a hotel. Dodge city was okay, old timey cowboy thing they had going on. OH! I should tell you the story about why we stopped there: My great great (possibly great) grandaddy moved from Wales, to Australia (with his brothers), to Texas (to be a Cowboy). He saved the money he made driving cows from Texas to Dodge to move to Oregon, and homestead. Lol. Yup. Next we drove though western Kansas. Which is one of the most boring places I have EVER driven through. seriously. FLAT FLAT FLAT FLAT FLAT. When mom made me drive it was slightly better because I had something to focus on. We drove to Ottawa, where my family (Dietrich family) had a cabin, with is tiny and cool :D (I forgot to write about Colorado, we saw a Grizzly BEAR and had Mexican food and stayed the most expensive cheep, kinda icky hotel ever (it was like 75 for a room that smelled like pee and bleach, we asked for a different room, which, though musty, was much better)) Next we went through Richmond (TINY). My mom lived there for four years when she was a kid, so that was interesting. THEN *intake of breath* we drove to Iowa, though a small corner of Missouri. We got in to John and Ruthie's, in the middle of the night *gasp* again lol. Now it is time for me to get off the computer, or be punnished lol. I will tell you all about Iowa at the next chance I get lol.
LOVE! (sorry for all the writing)
