Road trip to college- Day 3 (last day!)

Oct 31 | Road trip to college- Day 3 (last day!)

So the morning of our third day we had some trouble.......the car didn't want to work but lucky for us the husband of the lady who owned the bed and breakfast was a car guy. But it turns out that the car was just cold because being at such a high altitude it get a lot colder. But we were ok.....when we got going. So within about 40 min we were in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Pagosa is a cute little place, its a small town but that is why its so cute. So in driving we came upon this flat that is at like 8,000 ft but when you are up on it it looks just like Texas because you can't really see any of the mountains. My mom liked that.....well we finally made it to Utah my mom and my sister almost missed the sign. We decided to go through Moab........bad idea. Moab pretty much consist of canyons and mountains and canyons a valley and some more canyons.......My mom is afraid of heights. My sister and I were actually proud of her she had been fine the whole trip she was a brave girl. So at one point we were on some switch backs and the speed limit of course is like 80 and for once in my life my mom was actually going the speed limit ....wow....well that was in part because we had a semi up our butt. So we are going along and me and my sister are both like hey mom you might want to slow down on these switch backs....hey mom.....well long story short we turned the corner and there was a huge drop off on the other side of the road.....my mom freaked out but not until we were down. It wa kind of funny....but hey I think her fear of heights is done for. But I am happy to say that even with all of the dilemas we finally made it to salt lake.
