Not much to say about the 23rd of July except that it was hot. We had quite the drive and had to go quite slow because we started at 7300 feet and descended to 4300 feet then climbed above 7000 feet and then descended to back below 5000 feet only to climb up above 7000 feet again. We then descended down to Las Vegas an elevation of 2001 feet. This resulted in 7.3 MPG. Charlotte struggled at times but we made it without any real brake or engine problems. The views on the drive were great as always and you should definitely check out our pictures. Kyle is definitely the most aggressive when it comes to taking pictures and where I would just want to look, he has been clicking away so you should all thank him for that.
We arrived in Vegas around 8:30 and went to the Red Rocks Casino to catch an IMAX showing of the new Batman movie. Not only is the movie spectacular (We saw it on opening night as well) but the movie is even better in IMAX and was easily worth the 14 dollar ticket price. After the movie I had hoped we would drive to a Walmart for the night but neither Mike nor Kyle was interested in leaving the Red Rock parking lot. Therefore, we got ready for bed in an incredibly over lit parking lot where music was playing loudly from most of the lamp posts. It proved to be a hot and sweaty restless night.
This morning we drove to the Borders across the street where I am now blogging and uploading pictures. We will be picking Lyn up at the airport at noon and then driving to the grand canyon for the night. We will be staying in RV parks the next 4 nights (THANK THE LORD!) and will be able to update the blog each night as well as shower which is the really important thing. I worry that we are starting to smell like a gym bag that has been left in the trunk of a car for a few weeks.

Michael, Dave, and Kyle:
YOUS GUYS!!!!! What an incredible trip for you three. You are doing a great job keeping us informed and taking wonderful pictures. Charlotte is definately taking great care of you also. Have a great time. I love you, Mom L.
Convocation is typically a blast, but, after your exciting trip across the country, Convo may seem a little dull for the three of you
--- NOT!!!!!! Carol and I look forward to seeing you guys on Tuesday (if not on Monday)!!! By the way, David Tra, Kyle uses more exclamation points than the others because he has been corresponding with me more than the others -- they're addictive!?!
