Well, that has all changed. We just finished our last school break and we figured for this one, we would do a whirlwind tour of the American Southwest.
It all began last Friday, when we left at the crack of dawn to head north to the border. After a white-knuckled ride through the mountains (they don't believe in guard rails in Mexico), we stopped on the side of the road for lunch with our travel partners, the Meissners.
We crossed in a town called Agua Prieta, and it was a hair-raising experience as it appeared that everyone in the states of Chihuahua and Sonora decided to cross on Good Friday as well.
It took a little bribery, but soon we were accepted into the seemingly endless line for the crossing.
Once in Arizona, we wanted out of the car, so we stopped in Tombstone, Arizona for some good old-fashioned touristy fun.
We got to Grandpa Crabb's and Sue's house by evening, and after some drinks and some appetizers, Jay and I decided to climb the mountain behind their house, and we were rewarded with a beautiful view of Phoenix.
The next morning we helped the Crabb's load up (they were heading off on a RV adventure of their own), and then we were off to Anaheim, CA.
