A Cavern, Traffic and Miscalculations!

Sunday, July 8th!

After going through two time zones and two states we made it to Phoenix, Arizona last night at 10pm! That's midnight back at home! It was a long and exhausting day but we did it!!!

Leaving San Antonio early morning and made it to Sonora, Tx by 8am for the first tour of the Sonora Caverns! We didn't get back on the road till 11am but that's ok! The cavern was fantastic!

We drive all of 30mins to make it to a subway for lunch and realized they had only slim pickings of sandwiches! Really?? No ham and only 2 breads to choose from and slim pickings on toppings! Once back on the road we headed west!

Rocking out to 90's music and rock! We made it to El Paso about 4pm (5pm at home). Yes El Paso is a shanty town where stupid people can't drive! Marissa showed her wonderful fascination (or intolerance) to roadwork and traffic! I even learned a few new vocabulary words! Thank goodness we won't have to go back to El Paso!

It was only a short trip across the New Mexico border where we decided to stop at a gas station and decided to eat at the gas station restaurant! I have to say it was the best bowl of soup and BLT ever!!

By 6pm (7pm at home) I was behind the wheel to drive us across New Mexico and to go through Our first border patrol stop on I-10! That was fun and quick! We then decided to stop at this country store to buy moccasins! That was unsuccessful!

By this time exhaustion has set in but we are trucking through Arizona to stay at Jenny Ward's condo in Phoenix! By 10pm(12pm central) we finally made it!!! Yea!! It was one great accomplishment!
