Arizona Day 1





We arrived in Arizona yesterday. The trip was essentially uneventful except for during the four hour flight to Phoenix, Dawn was seated next to a lady who thought it would be fine to have her elbow halfway into Dawn's seat. Dawn spent most of the trip half on Jason's lap trying to avoid being elbowed over and over and over. And when Dawn asked if she could get up to use the restroom, the woman literally rolled her eyes at her. Good grief, what has happened to kindness and common courtesy????????
Anyway, after we landed in Phoenix, it went up from there.
We got our rental car, which has built in Sirius radio. Never used that before, but it is actually really cool.
Then we headed to a local burger joint called "Whataburger" because we
were both starving. I thought it ironic that we both ordered chicken from "Whataburger".
We headed out to our hotel and then drove up Interstate 17 for awhile. Absolutely beautiful!!
We met Kathy and Jeff for dinner at a local western joint with campfires at each table so that you could roast your own marshmallows. It was very cool.
Today we are going to go out and explore the Tucson/Tombstone area with Jeff and Kathy.
Hopefully I will have lots more pictures!

I can't wait to read more! And did you get to make smore's at the restaurant with the campfire at each table?

And "whataburger"? That sounds like something you'd find down MY way!

Did you mention to the lady in the airplane that you have a very good friend who's really talented in making voodoo dolls? So what if it's a lie.
