After seeing a number of places and enjoying our trip out to the west coast we now have to start the rapid trip back across the country. Today we traveled 551 miles from Santa Barbara, CA to Cedar City, UT. The entire day was spent driving with a brief stop in Las Vegas, NV. We wanted to show the girls the strip and give them an abbreviated taste of Las Vegas. We spent an hour walking through the lobbies and casinos in Paris and the Bellagio. This also gave us the opportunity to see the famous Bellagio fountain show before resuming our trip east. Reaching Cedar City, UT prepared us for our national park visits tomorrow.
This is the Chihuly glass ceiling in the lobby of the Bellagio.

From the (almost) daily posts, to the list of things worth seeing/doing, to Kelsey’s entertaining Komments, and all the pictures — I couldn’t wait to get the next installment. And special thanks to Kelsey for spending the whole four weeks upside down!
