Trailer Fabulous

Day 1 of the Schaeffers roadtrip...so far fairly smooth, except for the hour and a half we spent PARKED on the 15 N. in 108 degree weather while a big rig burned to the ground a few miles ahead of us. Aside from that delay, the drive was a little slower than our usual journey to Utah with the trailer behind us, but not too bad. We were a little worried though as we headed out from home at 4:10 am, the trainer was a little (ok, really a lot) jerky, but once we hit the open road and got up to a good speed it was fairly smooth. That was a sigh of relief! Now that we've gotten past our rocky start, the trailer has been a blast. While we were parked on the highway we went in the back & made some lunch & Truman said, "Mom, I'm so glad we're bringing a house with us"! We finally made it here to Zion around 4:30 pm and were amazed at the scenery. It is spectacular. I wish we had a way to get a picture that gave the feeling of enormousness (I"m not sure if that's a word, but looking around that's what it makes me think of!) of the cliffs and rocks here. I can't wait to get into the park to see more! I'm sure we'll have more good stories to share tomorrow, hopefully none of delay, but just of adventure, awe, and wonder!
