Day 1

I decided to take a travel assignment in California, and my now husband, was back for his 2 week R&R leave from Iraq, so we decided to drive out. We had my dog and cat with us as well, as I was moving to CA for awhile. We had so much fun. We tried to capture all of the state signs as we crossed them, but after day 2, we didn't do too well. Highlights for me were St. Louis, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and as always, Las Vegas. We drove through the following states... Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Las Vegas, and California.

DAY ONE::

We left Pittsburgh at about eight o'clock in the morning and we are on our way to California.  We decided to take the southern route after some careful consideration.  It looked the most fun, and I knew that stopping at the Grand Canyon could be an option, depending on how we were doing time wise.
