Project 52:27 Road Trip

During the month of July, we had the incredible opportunity to drive from San Antonio, Texas to Fairbanks, Alaska.  It was one of the most fun things we've done as a family.  And the beauty we experienced traveling through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Canada and Alaska.  

As we were taking in the magnificence of the Grand Canyon, I noticed a plaque hanging on the ledge next to the Canyon.  Psalm 66:4, "All the earth worships Thee; they sing praises to Thee, sing praises to Thy name."  I couldn't have said it any better. Each place we stopped at on our way had it's own beauty and it's own way of honoring our wonderful Maker.

View from Weeping Rock Trail, Zion National Park (This was our absolute favorite place that we stopped.  If you ever have a chance to go to Zion National park, take it.)

We were able to see a black bear and even three grizzly bears on our drive!

These pictures are amazing. I hope you print and frame the photo from the Grand Canyon. The scenery seems like a perfect fit for the adventurous Salinas family!

Looks like Sammy may be following his Mama's love for photography? Good picture, Sammy.
