The Sulsers

We had the opportunity to attend my cousin's daughter's graduation in Las Vegas this summer. Of course, from Alabama, it was a 30 hour drive. Much to my kids' disgruntleness(word?), we decided to DRIVE!! What an experience! Oh, the sites you can see as you travel across country and back for 10 days.


This picture cannot do justice to what you actually see as you approach the rim of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely spectacular!!




The Hoover Dam is an awesome sight!!



We drove along Historic Route 66 in Arizona. It was nice to get away from all the traffic and trucks. My stepdad and mom were traveling in a 2 car convoy with us.



We found the Route 66 Museum in Oklahoma. Whoever designed the items inside did a fabulous job. We learned lots about Route 66.


This is the largest Cross I have ever seen. I believe it was in Texas. Don't they say everything is bigger in Texas!


This is the view from our hotel in Vegas. Spectacular!!!


This is my cousin's daughter after receiving her diploma! Oh Happy Day!!


Finally.....SERVICE!!! Nothing like text messaging on vacation!

I would not miss the family time, the sights we saw, or the experience of driving across the country. However, if we go that way again, we will fly!!
