Today, as were checking out of The Motor Lodge, the owner presented us with two bags of homemade chocolate chip cookies, in case we got hungry on our drive home. This was the BEST place to stay! We had such a remarkable last night of our California Road Trip.
As we traveled out of Prescott, we quickly returned to the desert drive. We started recalling the many "washes" we had driven past with NO water underneath. My personal favorite was "Holy Moses Wash" with a close second being "Rattlesnake Wash" ! These washes are necessary for when it rains in the desert. The sand is so dry that it can't hold the water, so the wash serves as a storage place for the water.
We decided to have lunch in Anthem, AZ. So, after a quick stop, we were back on the highway. We arrived back at Rich and Rachelle's around 2:00 PM. Actually, Rich had just left for his business trip to Berlin, but Rachelle and Connor were home. Everyone helped to unload the car, then Rachelle and I drove to Enterprise to return our rental car. It was rather sad leaving our car. Thanks, Enterprise, for a great trip with no problems.
Everyone worked on computers until it was time for dinner. Connor picked tonight's restaurant, a great Chinese place called Abacus. Afterwards, we went to DQ for blizzards.
Now, we're back at home, relaxing. I find myself humming, "America, the Beautiful" and feeling extremely grateful for our road trip exploring many of the beautiful places in this incredible land we call home.
