Thursday morning we headed out bright and early with this pretty sunrise to start the day!
Were we loaded heavy? You bet!! Glenn decided to borrow the neighbor's boat this time instead of using a rubber raft in the ocean!!
Our first day was plenty long driving through Colorado, New Mexico and spending the night in Winslow, AZ! I was excited to go downtown for dinner and check out the "corner" - cute as can be!
This is all due to a song by the Eagles, Take It Easy, which has the words in it below!
The statue I'm standing beside is Jackson Browne - he started to write the song and then gave it to Glenn Frey of the Eagles to finish it and they recorded it! Glenn Frey's statue is also here!
And this huge mural on the side of the building depicts more words of the song - "it's a girl my lord in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me".
We had an awesome meal almost right across the street from all of this at Bojo's - yummy Mexican food!
Our journey continued the next day as we went by Flagstaff (always fun to drive by as it reminds me of Colorado) and the turn off to Sedona!! We stopped in Camp Verde at a favorite coffee place!
And then it was on to the cactus around Phoenix...................
and to the sand dunes past Yuma!! 84 degrees!! Time to get out the sandals and shorts!!
We arrived in Calexico about 3:30 so exchanged our money and ate some dinner - it will be an early day tomorrow as we want to cross the border around 6:00am and then a LONGER day as we drive 1/2 way down the Baja coast!
