So I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from my trip to Arizona. My best friend, Trudy, just moved there, and Iwas helping her move. It took us 4 days to drive out there. It was us in her car, her sons Brandon and Jared in Brandon's car, and Brandon's friend Michael in his car. Day 1 took us throuh New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and landed us in Indiana. On Day 2 we started out in Indiana and passed thru St. Louis in Missouri. It was cool to see the big arch. Then we got into Oklahoma and ended Day 2 in Oklahoma City.
Day 3 was probably the most boring drive. We left Oklahoma City and drove through Oklahoma and Texas and ended in Albequerque, New Mexico. We got a lot of smiles from other drivers when they saw Brad Pitt peeking out the back window. It was actually a little bit creepy (sorry, Brad!). Brandon has an obsession with Long John Silver's so we ate there at least once a day. That's where Brad got his pirate hat, courtesy of me.
Here's Trudy and I crashing at the end of Day 3. We did have a lot of fun with some poor middle-aged guy wearing a baseball cap and driving an old mini-van with a car seat in the back. I can't reveal exactly what happened, but I will say he will never forget that drive!

And finally, on Day 4........Monday, July 31st we reached Arizona! We were so happy to see that sign.
Here is our first stop inside Arizona. It seemed like we stopped a lot, because we had Trudy's dog Spunky with us, but we only stopped about every 3 hours. Spunk did amazingly well on the trip...I was very impressed!
