Saturday, May 2 was National Scrapbook Day. I didn't get to participate as much as I normally do, but I did get some scrapping in and enjoyed the games, challenges, and camaraderie at A Cherry On Top. The first layout I made was for a scraplift challenge.
1st Road Trip (affiliate link)
The layout tells the story of the first road trip that Steve and I ever took together, back in July 2003. We had been engaged to two weeks when took off on a 9-day adventure that took us from Sacramento to Calico Ghost Town, Grand Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam, and Yosemite National Park, then back to Sacramento.
The trip got off to bad start when the undercarriage of Steve's car fell off about two hours into the trip, in the middle of nowhere. He'd had the car serviced the day before in anticipation of such a long road trip and apparently they did not secure it correctly after the service. Steve saved the day (and the trip) with zip ties and his engineering skills. While there were some other hiccups during the trip (though none so dramatic), we had a fantastic time together. It was the first time we'd traveled any distance together and it was immediately apparent that our travel styles were compatible, just like we were in so many other ways.
I was 31 and Steve was 27 when we went on this trip. I love looking back at the pictures of us, so young and so happy. We're not young anymore, but we're still happy. It's been 23 years since that first road trip and we still love traveling together.
