Spent the day walking around and playing with some voodoo magic! The abbey bar was great and the bartender knew carnivolution people! Small world!

It kinda looks like we're at Disneyland

Mmmmmm beignet remnants

You know you're in texas when...

the governor shoots a helpless coyote...with a laser pointed handgun...on his freakin morning jog!
they put steak on your pizza
everyone drives a humungous truck!


We had a great time in dallas visiting dad, cher and amanda! Lots of time to relax and eat real food! Had the van worked on, stocked up on food, and visited the Sixth Floor Museum and saw the grassy knoll. Thanks y'all for EVERYTHING!! We miss you guys already <3



Everything's bigger in texas

Hammock time!

Typical expression :)

Do you know the way to Santa Fe

Mark in 4 states at one time!

It's funny. The 4 corners literally comes down to one teeny tiny little point. You can touch 4 states with your pinky finger

From the 4 corners we picked colorado and camped in the san juan national forest just past durango. Then we stopped at bandelier national monument on the way to Santa fe. Lots of cool pueblos and ladders to climb up into them!

Looking out

Climbing up 140 feet of ladders

A kiva waaay up in the cliff

New Mexico sky

Yes we canyon (sorry, that's all we got)

On our way from death valley we stopped at red rocks, just outside of las Vegas. From Vegas we drove over the Hoover dam and camped in the kaibab national forest just outside of the grand canyon!

Red rock national conservation area. Really beautiful with lizards and wild burros!

Wild burros! For real

Arizona sky

No words

It's wandering male tarantula season! Just in time for Halloween! Eek!

We were excited :)

South kaibab trail into the canyon

2000 feet below the rim

A little close to the edge

The canyon at sunset

Deadly desert

Death valley was sooo neat! It's consistently the hottest place in the world!

Naturally occurring sand dunes in death valley

Zabriskie point

Joshua trees!

Devils golf course. Salt formations covered the ancient lake bed

Beautiful colors naturally occur!



Crunchy salt deposits



Lil coyotes. Stay wild!

Everywhere you look....

San Francisco...rainy, but fun!
Thanks Katie and Nate once again for everything! Nick is so cute and I love how much he loves star wars! That's good parenting in my book!

Walking through thick fog to the light house in Point Reyes national seashore.

Golden gate bridge! Mark played the full house theme song as we drove over

Beautiful yosemite falls. The longest waterfall in the US!

Hey sequoia. So the trees we saw along the coast are also technically sequoias, but they're called redwoods. They grow much taller than the sequoias in yosemite and are a bit skinnier too.

Here's our van :) She's still running well! It's getting a little ripe smelling, though. Could be the dead elk teeth

Broke off a piece of chocolate Pennsylvania

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen
