Today was a rough day. We went 12 hours in the car and man did it feel like it. It probably seemed longer to me because I didn't sleep as much as I did yesterday. I only slept for like 3 hours instead of like 10 haha. It was prettier today because we got into the mountains. We saw over 200 antelope and a bunch of prairie dogs. We actually saw some buffalo too. It was an exciting animal day.
We left the hotel at like 6:30am and made it at around 5:50 or so. I can't remember, I didn't pay that much attention. Today we went through Wyoming, Utah and ended in Idaho. Wyoming was cool. That is where we saw a majority of the animals. We spent the most part of the day in Utah. We stopped a lot more today than we did yesterday. In Utah we decided to stop and see the Great Salt Lake. This was a surprise. We missed it by about 20 miles because we came in on a different highway than the one that accesses it. The good news is we took pictures next to another gigantic non-salt lake that looks a lot like it.
After that we went to a gas station where I attempted to buy scratchers tickets, which I love, and found out that Utah doesn't have a state lottery. Darn!! I LOOOOOOOVE to buy scratchers. So as soon as we stopped in Idaho I got two $1 scratchers and what do you know? I won $10!! Take that, Utah!
It was a pretty good day so far. I think we have like 8-9 hours of driving tomorrow until we get to Seattle. I'm really excited about the drive tomorrow because it is supposed to be really green and pretty. Maybe it will even rain while we are in Seattle. We are staying with some distant cousins there so that will save us a night in the hotel.
My mom's blog has a lot of our pictures up from today and this is the address if you want to look at them. I had an accident with my digital camera last night and had to go buy a bunch of disposables! So go take a look and you can also read her side of the story of our trip!
