Happy Valentines Day!

So I had quite the Valentines day and I'd like to share it with all of you- But believe me this wasn't your grandma's Valentines day! My day started off pretty normal, slept in, drank some sunny-d, you know the us'. Around 11 my mom and dad said, "want to go to st. george?" I figure what they hey why not? What's another day of putting off homework right? Anyway so we get to St. George, pull into my sisters driveway but nobody was home. So my mom backs out and heads to the freeway... Confused yet? Because this is about the time I am completely lost. My mom chucks a paper into the back seat and when I opened it I saw a map - Destination: Four Corners, Arizona.

Now a little history about my dad, for as long as I can remember he has been wanting to take a "road trip" to Four Corners... Why? I don't really know. However my mom felt today was the day we would check this little adventure off his bucket list. May I just add the total travel estimate is 5 hours 41 minutes/332 miles.

Yeah so as I see this little sheet of paper full fledge panic sets in and for the first two hours I cranked my 'pod trying to not freak out. In case you don't realize this is nearly 12 hours in a car-- a car with my giddy parents mind you.

After some Black Eyed Peas therapy I decided to embrace the journey. I started enjoying the scenery, the relaxing ride, the jams all of it. I got to see some cool things, including Colorado City (Its true what they say by the way, none of the houses there are finished from what I can see) and I got to see the lovely Lake Powell! And standing in four states all at once seems pretty exciting right? Anyway needless to say the closer we became the more excited I got.







We arrive to Four Corners at 5:15 only to see this.....





"Open Daily 8am - 5 pm"



CRUSHED- a 12 hour car ride for nothing!!!!!
