Not as Petrifying as we thought

Well, I didn't think there would be much to see o. The ride from Holbrook to Lake Havasu City. I was pleasantly suprised.

We started with with the complete drive through the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park. We saw plenty of petrified wood, but there was also some interesting landscape which includes the Painted Desert. There is red, yellow, and blue mounds of rock and sand that are actually pretty cool to see.

We also saw a Pronghorn Antelope just taking a break in the side of the road. I would have gone right by it, but Sarah was paying attention and saw it. He blended right into the landscape. I think we got some good pictures of it and the landscape within the park.

From there we began our trek on I-40, along the old Route 66. On our way, we realized we were passing the Meteor Crater just outside if Winslow, AZ. On a lark we took a look.

It was incredibly windy, but sunny. I am glad we stopped by, because it was cool to see. I remember reading about it in high school. There were lots of displays and exhibits in an adjacent building.

From there we drove to Flagstaff for lunch at the Cracker Barrel restaurant. Then we pushed hard for about 2.5 hours to Lake Havasu City.

The weather in Lake Havasu is very nice at 70+ degrees. We had an awesome dinner at a place called Mudshark's and now we are going to hit the sack early. Tomorrow we are going to check out London Bridge, which is in Lake Havasu, before heading out to Palm Springs for our last night on the honeymoon.
