UT-CO-AZ Road Trip

Posted on by

IMG_2948We recently decided that it would be a good idea to try and see as many national parks as possible before we die. This idea is what prompted the trip…plus we both had wanted to see these places for quite some time. All destinations were brand new to both of us, with the exception of our less-than-1-day visits to Zion and Grand Canyon.

We got there and discussed the implications of Google Glass and when the technology will advance to the point where we can send thoughts through the air.

“Hey man, I just iT’d you a millisecond ago.”

That degenerated into what kind of flag are we going to put on our house to counter the republican flag that our neighbor across the street waves. (Literally, our neighbor has a republican flag outside the house). We figured, we like food, how about a flag of various foods. Sushi, pizza, corn dog, donut were all discussed. Sew them or silk screen them is now the question.  Continue reading →
