Trip to West Virginia

Farewell to our humble abode in Arizona.
We took advantage of our out of town guests and had them help us haul all of our crap to the moving truck. We spent the evening cleaning.


We planned a few stops along the way to help make the drive a little more enjoyable. The first stop was the Petrified Forrest and Painted Desert National Park.

That is a petrified piece of wood.

Micah and his new dinosaur book. We loved the googly eyes and had to buy it.

The painted desert.

Yeah, New Mexico.

We also stopped at Petroglyph National Monument.

That night we drove through the pan handle of Texas and slept in Oklahoma.

The next day took us through Kansas and into Missouri.


We stopped at Liberty Jail (Nate had never been there before) and also Independence.

We stayed in St Louis. The next morning we went to see the Gateway to the West Arch.


We rode to the top (Nate had never been here before either).

Micah wasn't so sure about the view.
We continued our trip through Illinois....

Indiana....
and Kentucky.
We stopped at Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home.
After more hours of driving, we finally arrived.


This is our home for the next 5 years
