Day 1

This is day one of our spring break road trip. We left this morning at 10 am (Utah time) and are currently half way across Nevada. It has been way fun, but the weather isn't agreeing with us. This whole day the winds have just been getting worse and worse. It is seriously scary... At the beginning of our day we we driving west in Utah, our first stop was to the salt flats. It is so strange to think that the salt flats used to be at the bottom of lake Bonneville. After that we continued west and made it all the way to Wendover where we stopped to fill up our car, and buy snacks.  Then we continued through Nevada, where I decided to take an hour nap, while listening to Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games series. Then at about 3:30 we made it to Winnemucca, this cute little town in the middle of no where, where we stopped to have lunch/get a soda/snack. Now we have left Winnemucca and  are going South West to Lake Tahoe where we will be staying for the night. This wind has gotten a lot worse, to the point where it is so loud that I could talk normally and no one in the car could hear me talking. We have about three and a half hours to our destination for the night. It is crazy. We have been in the car for six hours now, maybe seven. I did not know that like all of Nevada was just barren desert. Well, now we are listening to an Ellen Degeneres audiobook, it is hillarious! It is also very confusing. Well, I think for now I am going to take another nap and finish writing this blog post in a little while, until then (Which for you will be the next line I write, but it will for me be hours till I write it, probably)... Hey :) We made it to the hotel last night ('m writing this in the morning now) That last part that I wrote about with the wind? Well, that wasn't even the worst part. Once we got up into the mountains it started snowing, hard. This was like a few miles away from the Nevada/California border going South West. Once we got up in the mountains people were all pulled off the roads and out of their cars. We were like what the heck?!? Then we saw the sign that said snow chains and snow tires required. Luckily we already had snow tires on our Jeep Cherokee. it was so crazy though. I was so glad once we got out of the mountains. They scare me so bad. i hate even being able to see the side of the cliff even when we aren't close to it. Once we got out of the mountains there were a lot of wrecks. people were sliding  all over the place! Luckily no one hit us. That is how day 1 of our six day trip went. Day two here we come!
