Ten days in California seemed like a long time, and we were ready to come home. We left CA about 6pm, and drove to Las Vegas where we had hoped to find an inexpensive buffet. Alas, it was not to be and we ended up at a Sonic at 11pm, and didn't arrive at Jane's parent's house in St. George, Utah until after 1am. We left around 10am the next day for the 10 hour drive to Denver. As we approached Glennwood Canyon, CO about an hour and half from the Utah border, I actually got a little lump in my throat because I was "home". Here are a couple pictures from the trip home. If you've never driven Highway 70 from Utah to Colorado, you are missing one of the most beautiful stretches of highway in the US.
This was taken at the "No Name" rest stop in Glennwood Canyon.
We stopped at the Las Vegas Hilton hoping to see the Star Trek museum and eat at the buffet, but both were closed when we got there. We did get into the Star Trek gift store. Here Molly's show off the very rare, and mostly illegal Romulan Ale.
We saw this van in Grand Junction, CO and then passed it leaving town. Look familiar?

That van is to die for. Ya know, I always hated the Brontasaurus as a teen (as a kid I loved it) but really, once you go past 5 kids, the mini van is worthless. What else were you supposed to do? :)
