Pork Rollin' Recap

What a crazy few weeks this has been! So the whole blogging while moving plan didn't work out very well. We put in some long days driving and then some technical difficulties got in the way. Once I got back to Jersey, I expected to have time to get settled and used to life on the East Coast. Then I went in to work on Friday to get fingerprinted and finish my paperwork and by the time I got home Friday I got a call telling me I'm starting on Monday. Here's a recap of Team Pork Roll's first few days on the road. More to come...

Monday, April 18th 

Team Pork Roll headed out of L.A. - first stop Vegas!

The hungry (and thirsty) team members hit up Margaritaville where Amy and I were hit by the Perfect Margarita. Damn, those drinks were good...and strong!

Fueled by the Perfect Margarita, I was determined to go see the pirate show at Treasure Island and the fountains at the Bellagio. Tony and Amy joined me on my drunken trek. Meanwhile, Pat went to the casino and was the only one to actually win something. 

Tuesday, April 19th

We headed out of Vegas and soon left civilization. Driving through Utah was just amazing. There were miles and miles of giant red rock formations and barely another soul around. At times we were the only 2 cars on the road. Unbelievable!

The original plan was to get to Denver on Tuesday - but good sense prevailed and we stopped in Grand Junction, Colorado for the night. It was my first full day of driving and I was beat. We all quietly sat around at dinner, barely able to put sentences together.

Wednesday, April 20th
On through the Rockies Wednesday morning.Another day of amazing mountain views, complete with snow and skiers.

My dear friends Heather and Charlie were Team Pork Roll's Denver tour guides. We didn't make it to Denver in time to go to a Rockies game but we did get a chance to go by the stadium.Then on to a local brewery where they have Silver Back ale, which explains the gorilla statue!
