Well, I made it back to Mesa, AZ, thanks to two of my favorite people. (my mom & dad). We had a fun trip. We do it in 2 days, 1. because we're old. and 2. because we have more FUN!
From Salt Lake City, we drive to KANAB, and stop at the famous "Perry Lodge."
Each room is named after old movie stars. Dad of course requests to stay in the "Ronald Reagan" room, complete with the pres's picture on the wall. Then we go out to dinner, and come back to the room and relax. Then in the morning we're back a the road, listening to Elvis, Old Gospel tunes, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, etc.
We stop at different spots along the way, and stretch & such. I drive most the time (because I beg to, and prefer it that way.)
We stopped in Camp Verde this trip because I like to stop by and visit "WYNELL". (this is Matt's grandma, lexi & anna's great-grandma) This lady is "a Hoot"!
She has lots of stories and opinions about things and has a very entertaining way telling you them. I really enjoy her.
On the way out of Camp Verde we stopped at a little roadside vegetable garden with a little stand. Dad of course, had to get some onions, mom picked out some tomatoes, and then dad and I picked out a couple different kinds of peppers. Dad actually went out into the garden & picked a few of his own. Then back in the car and down the hill to Mesa. Stopped and saw Curtiss, Jen, and Kempton. Then one more stop at Olive Garden, and....ta-dahhh. We are home. Safe and sound.
OH yea, DID I MENTION ALL THE LAUGHS & FREE ENTERTAINMENT that I get from traveling with these two? Well, I do!
