On to Arizona


On Monday we took to the road and headed for Prescott Valley, Arizona to see Uncle Jim and Aunt Joan. This was our first actual road trip in our motor home...so now are we officially RVing?! The kids were great travelers as we spent the whole day on the road with just two stops for lunch and dinner. To make the time pass we pulled out the school books and got a few lessons done in math, language and spelling. I was surprised that we were all able to have our noses in the books without anyone getting even a little car sick (I usually have a very hard time reading in the car and not getting car sick)! We all had fun seeing the many different big trucks and fellow RVers that were on the road with us! We arrived in Needles, California, a town on the border between California and Arizona, about 8:30pm and found an RV park to stay at for the night. It was incredibly windy in Needles and on the road there; Steve had a hard time with the wind trying to push the motor home around on the road. We all slept well in our cozy little home and were on the road not too early the next morning. It was interesting to see the scenery change as we drove out of California and into the Mojave Dessert in Arizona. We arrived at Uncle Jim and Aunt Joan's late afternoon on Tuesday...just in time to have More for dinner(a special Uncle Jim casserole dish)!
