A big day traveling-Aug 9

Hi there! I am going to be lazy and do a quick note and post pictures tomorrow. We left the motel in Stockton, CA at 7 AM and then headed for Yosemite National Park. We spent several hours there and then stopped at the Hoover Dam. Those were the two attractions we saw today, and the remainder of the day we saw lots and lots and lots of desert. It was so desolate that it made us almost feel like we were the only ones on the earth anymore! That is until we drove through Vegas!! Then it sure was a bustling and busy place. People everywhere!! We continued our drive until we reached Kingman, AZ. We drove approx 600 mile today. We went to Dennys to eat after we arrived here and now feel like we want to hit the sack. We had several hugs from God today that made us smile, like gas station appearing when we started to feel uneasy, fitting Hoover Dam into the schedule, right on our way here, and also calling the Super 8 for a reservation to find they only had 2 rooms left and only 1 nonsmoking room which was the suite and they said they would give that to us!! It has 2 beds, couch, arm chair, desk, microwave, refrig. Very nice!! We decided since we put in a long day today that we will stay another night here and observe the Lord's day here and relax tomorrow. I will try to post a few pictures tomorrow.
