Well, I've finally found the camera cord, so I can download some pictures from our trip and start talk a bit about our move and Chicago. I'm planning to do 3-6 of these posts.
It's been rather crazy for the last couple of weeks. First we were packing like mad before the movers came. They showed up 40 minutes early and we had to finish packing/taping up while they moved.
We drove out in three and a half days, stopping at two national parks: Arches (in Utah -- the first four pictures) and Rocky National (in Colorado -- the remaining pictures). On the last day, we drove for 16 hours, arriving that night at Alison's parents. Here are some pictures from the trip, first of Arches, then of Rocky National.
We went to both parks after 5 PM, which was nice in both case. For Arches, it meant it wasn't very hot out and we got some nice sunset light. For Rocky National, it meant that there was a lot of wildlife out. That is a baby moose in the picture. Then an adult moose in a river, and finally male deer.
As we left Rocky National Park, there was a huge thunder storm in front of us. As we drove down the Rockies, we were going through a rocky canyon at night. It was being almost constantly illuminated by lightening -- one of the coolest things we've seen.
In my next post, I'll describe arriving in Chicago and various adventures settling in.
