we got up fairly early since the elk kept snorting us awake. our first task of the day was showers and breakfast... which went off without a hitch. next, back at the campsite, nathaniel laid out a mat for kendal and we occupied him with toys while we disassembled the tent and packed up EVERYTHING for the ride home. we consolidated all the "clean" clothes into 1 suitcase, jammed all the dirties into the small one, stuffed the other large one with 2 sleeping bags and 2 pillows, and then also stuffed the 2 army duffle bags (thanks rob and melissa!) with the remaining camping supplies. WHEW that was the hardest thing we've done yet!
we were on the road by 10 or 11 and after we got on interstate 17 (?), we found a place to eat and gas the car (sonic gas station combo). probably the worse meal we ate besides the one at garcia's. too greasy.
anyway, we stopped at montezuma's castle national park...
look at that big belly!!! (again, note me hogging the shade again!)
this park had cool, different trees. this is an arizona sycamore. very pretty trees.
kendal went to sleep on the drive to phoenix... don't you wish you could have lips like that? i could kiss them on my computer screen right now! (can you tell K is at daycare today? i miss him!)
at the hotel, which was remarkably nice for the cheap $78 we paid for it - we got room service (which cost nearly as much as the room but it was REALLY good food!)
here is a photo of kendal enjoying the middleof the king size bed!
if you can't tell by his skin color and face expression, he is REALLY sleepy!
when he gets sleepy, he starts squeezing his eyes together like this:
ok, so the next day we got up, ate breakfast, got gas (topped off the tank for $3.39/gal), dropped off the car, rode the shuttle to the airport, checked our bags, then hung out at the airport for 3 hours! it was actually a slow day there aparently!
anyway, flight home was great (little bumpy on the last part of it), got home late, slept good, felt great the next day, and then the NEXT day jet lag set in...
