Greg and I decided to high-tale it out of the southwest and make it to San Diego in one day's drive. Greg was anxious to spend time with his parents and we were exited for some R&R at his parent's house in La Jolla, CA. First, we had hoped to visit White Sand National Park which is basically huge Sand dunes that you can "surf" down on sleds-- but it was a 4 hour detour. Then, we decided to see the Grand Canyon, but after having lunch in Flagstaff (a very cute outdoorsy town) we also chose not to drive that 3 hour detour. So, after much debate about where to spend our one stop of the day we eventually chose Sedona.
We weren't expecting much as we headed into the forested cliffs. Then, almost suddenly, we started seeing the most incredible views we had ever seen. We passed beautiful camp site after camp site and instantly knew where our next trip was going to be-- a camping trip to Sedona. When we reached the small town of Sedona we were literally shocked with the views in every direction. Even the free parking lot had million dollar views. We can't wait to go back.
After leaving Albuquerque at 7:30am and 2 stops by the boarder patrol (Good thing I didn't tell them I had a Frenchie in the car-- they might have thought he was an illegal immigrant), we finally reached San Diego at 11pm. A good day's drive...
