Great American Road Trip - Day 10

From Las Cruces, NM to Phoenix, AZ... we drove through a lot of desert. We tried to stop at a ghost town and it was closed... I mean really closed... but it was fun to see, nonetheless. Most importantly, Little Man was so excited every time he saw a cactus. Since he enjoyed seeing them so much, we decided to take a detour out of Tuscon to Saguaro National Forest. It was really unbelievable how many of these cactuses you see. I had NO idea. Totally worth the extra effort if ever in Tuscon.

Oh, and then in Phoenix, we got to visit with another friend from OT school and ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory... boy, I love that place! Not much exciting beyond those two adventures and we are still wiped out. Short post today, gotto get some rest. The mover called and will be in Escondido bright and early Wednesday. This will curtail our leisurely drive home from the Grand Canyon on Tuesday... now we will be sprinting home! I don't know if I will have internet tomorrow night, as we are staying at the Grand Canyon. If I am, I will just be posting pictures... if not, your pics will have to wait until we get a breather later on this week.

IS'NT IT GREAT THAT YOU CAN EVEN ENJOY WHAT YOU SEE IN THE DESSERT?
sOME OF THE CACTI ARE HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD. THE GRAND CANYON IS REALLY WORTH THE TRIP AND I HOPE YOU GET A GOOD LOOK. DON'T FALL OFF THE DONKEYS IF YOU GO DOWN INTO IT. LOVE YA
