It was August and that year -- perhaps every year -- August was complete with wonderful summer storms that raced in almost every afternoon with their displays of lightning and claps of thunder and sort of washed everything sparkling and clean. I loved it!!
We drove on to the Petrified Forest National Park. I remember visiting there with my Mom and Dad as a child and was hoping that Tyler will remember it fondly too, when he's an adult. We were able to walk through the beautifully colored fallen trees before the afternoon storms began. Then we drove on to the Painted Desert.. a part of the Park. The rains had washed down the red rocks and just shined them up so they stood gleaming in the sunlight that filtered through the wind-swept clouds. What a great trip we had!
