Wednesday morning we headed out from Carlsbad, NM, and made
the drive to Tucson, AZ. What a
beautiful drive! We thoroughly enjoyed
the drive. The boys did quite well -
they seem to be adjusting just fine to life on the road. We arrived in Tucson and stayed in an RV park
that didn't technically have age restrictions, but it was packed and mostly
with 55+. :) They had a heated pool, which we took advantage
of that evening, despite it being fairly chilly out after dark!
Thursday morning after breakfast I went out to stock up on
some groceries. After returning from
that we all headed out to the Pima Air & Space Museum. Pretty neat.
The boys got a kick out of all the different airplanes. They all start to look the same to me after
awhile... We got back to the campground
with plenty of time to go swimming before supper, and soak up some sun. All three of the boys loved the pool! Caleb and Logan are both doing very well -
swimming a little on their own without a lifejacket, jumping in, going under
water, etc. Levi still wants to hang on
pretty tight, but is getting more comfortable.
This morning we left Tucson and by mid-afternoon arrived in
Oatman, AZ. The last 8 miles were rather
nerve-wracking! Two lane road, no
shoulder, very curvy, on the side of a mountain, and of course I was on the
outside edge practically hanging off the edge in our big, lumbering motor
home... Had we been heading the other
direction and I could have been on the inside against the mountain I would have
enjoyed it a little more. :) Anyways, Oatman was quite something. It's an old mining town that has donkeys just
roaming around down the street. They've
got lots of little shops and it was a nice place to just walk around a
bit. After finishing there, we headed to
Needles, CA, to find our campground for the night. So, we made it to California on this
trip! Barely. The boys had fun playing in the dirt before
supper, and now are all showered up and ready for bed.

LOVE the clouds!
ReplyDeleteSounds like we're going to need to pick your brain over Memorial Day. We're going to be going to some of those same places this summer. We won't be in a motorhome, though.
