Yesterday was a big travel day for us. It
was our 26th day on the road and it was our longest driving day with
almost 800 miles covered. We drove across two states, an entire time
zone and the Continental Divide. When we started planning this trip, it
was supposed to be to the southwest and I had a long list of places to
go. Then we changed plans and it became a Pacific Northwest and west
coast trip. I still held on to the hope of making a few southwest stops.
Then we stopped in Vegas (not on the list at all). Instead of pushing
on to see more cool places on my list, we realized we all needed some
rest. Those two unexpected nights were what we needed to recharge and
feel like we were on vacation, not just traveling. The sacrifice was
having to drive through Arizona and New Mexico and know there were lots
of places we are missing. But we will be back to do a southwest trip
some day. The end of a trip is always bittersweet for me. I could keep
traveling forever, but I also miss a lot of people. Notes on roads in NW
Arizona: high winds, lots of pot holes, and you can go 75mph. That was
fun.
