Do Life Right

We thought we were in the movie Cars when we saw this little motel in Holbrook, AZ. We almost stayed there, but their office was closed when we wanted to get a room. The other photos are from Route 66 too.

We’re huge Indiana Jones fans around here; we all loved the new movie (I thought it was the best one yet) and we’ve been working our way through The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume One - The Early Years, The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Two - The War Years, and The Adventures […]

There is only one place in the United States of America where four states all touch. Here are a few photos of my family there. The states are Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. There is a charge to visit it, but it’s free if you show up when they are right […]

The Eagles knew it, standing on a corner hanging out is the place to be. Winslow, Arizona, actually has an official statue with a girl in a flatbed Ford painted on the wall behind the statue. Here are some photos of my family hanging out there. My younger daughter, Teagan, has loved […]

The second crater is Upheaval Dome Crater located in the northern part of Canyonlands National Park just outside of Moab, […]

From yesterday’s photographs:
The first is white sand from White Sands National Monument just west of Alamagordo, New Mexico. This sand is made from gypsum. These dunes look like snow and are perfect for sledding on.
The second is yellow sand from Arches National Park just north of Moab, Utah. It looks more […]

Here are photographs of sand. I’ve taken all these photos in the Southwestern United States (in five completely different locations). Guess where they were taken and what the sand consists of. Answers tomorrow.
