Last day

Day 4: Denver, CO to Las Vegas, NV (762 miles)

We didn't want to do the pass in the dark so we had breakfast at the hotel again. We left early around 6:30am and watched the sunrise over the mountains.




Day 4 was uneventful which was perfect after the day before. It was also the most beautiful drive ever! I was sad that I was driving because all I wanted to do was take pictures. We went through a lot of tunnels and Liam was excited about them at first but after the first 3 or 4 he told me he wanted to go back outside and didn't like them anymore.




We were very excited to get to Utah. We learned that their is nothing in that part of Utah. We even had to pull over to the side and change Liam's diaper. It was crazy changing a diaper with trucks speeding by at 90 mph. The last day was all incredibly beautiful and I couldn't have been happier to be back in the mountains. When we stopped for gas we let the boys get out of the car and Dan wanted to wash the car. The boys had so much fun washing Mike's car! It was super cute!








We got to Vegas around 6 and we couldn't have been happier to be there! I will admit though the drive from St. George to Vegas wasn't easy. The sun was setting and since I'm short I had no way of blocking it was I was very uncomfortable for that part of the drive. Either I was holding my hand up or sitting up in a weird position to use the visor as much as I could. We made it though! The boys didn't waste any time and before bed Daniel wanted Aunt Stacey to read him stories :)


It was a long trip but we made it home! The boys were as good as I think you can expect a 4 and 2 year old to be in the car for 4 days. They were great in the car and super rambunctious at stops we made especially hotels but they both were champs at going to bed in the hotels. If they hadn't I know I wouldn't have made it because I wouldn't have slept so that was a huge blessing! I'm happy we were safe and even though it was rough in some places we made it!
