September 26-27
Over two days, we drove from West Yellowstone to Capitol Reef National Park. A pretty long stretch, but the family took it quite well…
At West Yellowstone, we stayed at the Alpine Inn Motel, which was great, clean rooms, and great owners, Brian & Patty. Even suggest good restaurants for dinner & breakfast. The li’l one was really tired out by the time we reached the motel the night before, so we settled for the Chinese restaurant next door. We have had no Chinese food since arriving in Utah, and this no doubt, tasted pretty good.
Breakfast, next day, before we headed out was at a place called running bear, that served pretty good pancakes and stuff. Good service, though do not expect fast food speeds, as they prepare their food fresh.
So off we drove towards Ogden to spend the night. Drive was long 3-4 hours (long for kids), and nothing much to see, or to stop for. And QiYang was using mummy’s camera to take pictures of his feet, and things around outside.
Ogden was a good place for a good sleep, before heading out to Torrey, next to Capitol Reef National Park. Where the scenery is such a contrast from what we had been seeing in the mountains a sign of things to come, as we approach a different climate and geographical features. A sign of something grand to follow soon.
At the Best Western Motel at Torrey, the boys headed straight for the TV for some Nascar action on TV. By now, the big one seem to have developed a taste of stock car racing, and, afterall, we were approaching an area where, perhaps, some landscape features were probably an inspiration for the Pixar movie, Cars.
Nice foot, Qiyang. Good framing too! A budding photographer in the making!
Keep having lotsa fun and keep the pics coming!
If Torrey is where they got the inspiration for the landscape for “Cars”, are you on Route 66? Oh, btw, thanks for the Tee.
Eh, where is inspiration for Radiator Springs? (aka Radiation Stinks!) Take lotsa pics here, okay?
