It has been an amzing trip. All credit belongs to Emma for organising the route and the activities (except the Chuck Wagon dinners).
It's been hard reflecting on the highlights as the start in Death Valley seems a very, very long time ago. We've already forgotten a lot of this trip...but photos and this Blog will help us remember.
So highlights. Jack struggled to write his down, so lets start with Olivia.
1. Playing with Aussie (Kris and Paul's dog)
2. Holding the birds that Kris and Paul own
3. The Space Mountain ride at DisneyLand
4. Going to SeaWorld
5. Picking oranges and making organge juice with Paul
6. Going bike riding in Boulder
7. Swimming in all the pools/spa's/rivers
8. Seeing Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas
9. Playing with a baby kitten at Paul and Kris's
10. Driving through Titus Canyon.
A bit of a short term memory issue with Ms Olivia....but clearly the last few ays in LA have been a hit!
So, on to James. Surely her enjoyed the views, wildlife, museums, history, culture that we spent SOOOO much money on....
1. Seeing Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas
2. Going to DisneyLand

And what of the organiser of this trip - Emma:

Some overlap with the kids, but not too much.
So, me. It's hard to just pick 10 highlights, but here goes:
1. Antelope Canyon - simply stunning and unique
2. Walking into the Grand Canyon - the scale blows you away
3. Walking onto the Salt Flats in Death Valley - 300 feet below sea level
4. Seeing Grizzly Bears
5. Seeing a wolf pack take down an elk
6. The views of the Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon
7. Le Reve in Las Vegas - a truly amazing show
8. Seeing the Killer Whale show in SeaWorld - childhood dream...
9. Dinner in Durango - best steak in many, many years
10. Having Jack look me in the eye and say "Daddy"
I am sure as we put together photo albums and the compulsory book of the trip we'll all change our minds.
There will be a final US entry tomorrow, from the airport. We plan on spending the day at Santa Monica tomorrow before getting on our 8pm flight.
