En Route: Minnesota to Utah

We chose to drive back to California via the Grand Canyon. It's right on the way, right?! The first night we stayed (for free, thanks to Dave's status as a Covenant pastor!) at a summer camp in Nebraska. It was a beautiful setting with lots of trees and a river; the fireflies at night were numerous. Justin had a great time chasing the fireflies.

Once we got to Denver, the scenery finally started getting interesting and non-midwesty (which is beautiful as well, but we'd been seeing that for the past month!). The day was overcast and hazy, and we drove through 3 heavy downpours of rain and hail driving over the Rocky Mountains.
