Day 2 of the road trip from California to Colorado went as well as day 1. We got up in the morning at the hotel and Cooper immediately went to the phone again (we always have to unplug he phones so the kids can play with them).
Charlotte was very sleepy and didn’t want to get out of her portable bed.
We were most impressed with how well the kids napped in the car. Cooper loved having a pillow, while Charlotte just needed her blankie.
While driving all I could look at were all the clouds. I realized how few clouds we got in California and how much I really missed seeing clouds. (This is somewhwere in Utah.) 
This cloud in particular was super crazy with the uplift.
This was in Grand Junction. I love all the plateaus.
Sometimes I feel like there are landscapes I see that just don’t seem possible to exist on Earth. Seems like they are from a different planet.
These are some photo of driving in the ‘real’ mountains. It never ceases to impress me.
Colorado means ‘color red’, and I love seeing how red the dirt is.
Cooper was completely chill while driving. I think it helped that we had Nemo or Wall-E running non-stop.
I loved how the clouds were reflecting in the mirror.
This was one of my favorite photos on the trip. When I was little I was very confused at how clouds could have shadows, and now I love how beautiful the light is in the valley.
Near the end of the drive the kids seemed to be a little restless. The toy laptop helped calm Charlotte down, while Cooper just got a little silly.

And this is how well it worked.
And finally seeing home! It was so exciting to drive in and see the city! There was even a rainbow to welcome us.
