Arizona Road Trip!

Lee and I have been throwing around the idea for a few months of going to Arizona to visit our friends. So finally last week we decided that we would go and make a road trip of it! The trip is 1600 miles. So we left early Wednesday morning on the 7th which happens to be our anniversary. After driving a thousand miles we decided that maybe we should get some sleep. We pulled into a truck stop, parked the car, and took us a few hour nap! This was my first time sleeping at a truck stop. Not the coziest place to sleep but hey it worked!! After a cold, cramped few hours we hit the road again. The second part of the trip was much more exciting since the scenery was different. I love the mountains. The only thing about the mountains I did not like was speeding down them 80 miles an hour. Lee thought it would be fun but I was not excited.

We had a great time in Phoenix. I had a girl day with my friend where we hit all the high end resale shops and had pedicures!. The food was awesome everywhere we went. Saturday night we went to the Supercross races. That was pretty exciting minus the drama we had to go through but I am not going to go into that. Then Sunday we hiked up Camelback Mountain. That was extremely hard (since I am so out of shape!!) but I made it all the way up. It was my favorite part of the whole trip. Looking back on it, it was fun but at the time I was complaining the whole way up.


We started to head home on Monday. After we stopped in Oklahoma to visit Lee's mom and a few other stops we finally got home Tuesday night. The drive home was so long, not as fun as driving out there.
So we went from beautiful Phoenix of 70 degrees to back home at -13 degrees. Isn't that lovely!!!


Here are some pictures on Camelback Mountain.(except the last one is of us driving home. Must have been early in the trip since we are smiling!!)
