3,489 miles

After 3,489 miles, we finally made it home. On the way back, we did not end up stuck for hours in traffic because of accidents because all of the accidents were on the other side of the interstate. Unfortunately, we did not get to stop at all of the sites that we had planned because it was raining.

Giant Arrows in Mancos, CO

Four Corners, quite the rip off considering they charge 3 dollars per person, but after you drive all the way out there, you kind of feel like you should pay for it just to make the drive worthwhile.

We just thought this was a funny graphic for falling rocks in New Mexico.
The following are images from the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial which was actually tactfully done. Each chair represents one of the 168 people who died with the smaller chairs representing the children. They had giant walls on either side of the reflecting pond. One had 9:01 on it and the other had 9:03 on it. The bomb went off at 9:02. The last picture is a bunch of tiles that some children sent after the bombing and there are chalkboards on the ground that people can write on.



This is my first Indian burial ground. It is in a shopping center parking lot in Sand Springs, OK.

This is a giant blue whale that is on old route 66 outside of Tulsa, OK. The water was quite disgusting and you are not supposed to swim in it. David is on the tail.
The last arch of the trip.
