Our Trip: A Retrospective Part III

When we last left our heroes, day two of the road trip had concluded. Everybody was in bed on a Friday night except for Jeremiah who was watching Battlestar Galactica.

And now, the conclusion of The Zohner Family Road Trip.

On Saturday morning, we headed back into Zions National Park. This time though, we didn’t stop to board any shuttles. Instead, we stayed in the van and drove through along the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. The highlight of this road, besides the amazing views, is a 1.1 mile long tunnel that was built during the first half of the last century. Because it was built in a time when cars were smaller, it’s very narrow. This fact can make it scary to drive, especially because it’s so dark, but we had a charter bus being escorted in front of us so there was no oncoming traffic. The kids thought that the tunnel was amazing and kept asking if there would be anymore tunnels along our route.

Our Trip: A Retrospective Part I

Since Holly finished up her first year of nursing school on Wednesday, she thought that it would be fun to go on a little vacation during her week and a half break. You see, she starts her RN year next week and wanted to do more than just sit at home doing nothing during her time off. I agreed with her and so the planning began.

Since neither of us had ever been to Zions National Park or Bryce Canyon National Park, we decided that we should take a road trip through Utah and enjoy some of the beautiful scenery that this state has to offer. We booked our hotels and I told my boss I was leaving for a few days, then we loaded up the van and started driving.
