Vacation to CA

George and I are on our way to California to deliver our mini-van to Christina and Joseph. They REALLY need one. Rather than trade it in when we bought a Toyota Corolla, we negotiated with Christina & Joseph to buy it from us. We are all pleased that it has worked out for everyone. The problem is, I'm feeling a little sad about seeing the mini-van go. We've had it for 4 or 5 years and made many a trip in it. It's like part of the family.

Vacation Day 1 - We drove from Austin to Las Cruces, New Mexico. We saw some beautiful country as we drove. I didn't think we were EVER going to get out of Texas! It is one REALLY BIG state!

Vacation Day 2 - We drove from Las Cruces to Tucson, AZ. There was very little traffic on the interstate, so the drive wasn't stressful. The wildflowers and countryside in NM and AZ were beautiful. We took a side trip to Saguaro National Park just outside of Tucson. The cacti were gorgeous! I took a couple of short side hikes to see more of the park. Since it was in the afternoon and the temperature was over 90 degrees, I didn't do too much hiking. I didn't want to get overheated. You are welcome to see my pictures by clicking here.

Tomorrow we will leave Tucson and drive the remainder of the way to CA. I'm really excited about seeing Chris and her family! I'll try to post pictures of my time with them as we do things together.
