Honeymoon Day 2

On day two we headed across Interstate 40 toward Arizona. There were a couple of pictures we took as we passed pretty sights along the roadside.
(Insert picture here from Jen)

After that our next stop was at the Petrified Forest National Park. We purchased our annual park pass good for all sorts of costs in government parks and lands throughtout the country. The drive took about an hour and a half with all of our stops.


We first went north to view the painted desert.


We viewed some ancient pueblo ruins dating from about the 1200s. What is fascinating to me about this is that there are very few ruins relating to common people in other places of the world. The ruins that last are the ruins of wealthy people. More about that on a later post. But I thought you might enjoy these pictures for now.


Then we headed south through the park and took these pictures with the petrified wood.
