Texas>California!

New Mexico: We made it through TX, and on to New Mexico! There's not too many pictures of this trek, we didn't really stop as this was the point where we just wanted to get there. I've heard really good things about Albuquerque though. The scenery was awesome, and we even got to snap a pic of the continental divide (pictured below). 

Arizona: We stayed in AZ for the night, waking up to head straight to the Grand Canyon. It was extremely grand, and sadly we missed this guy by just a few days. I obviously have photos of it for days..it's just so big.  

 

                                                                                                 Las Vegas: After we spent a good while there, we headed on to Vegas!!!!! I actually have never had a desire to go, but figured we had to do it. Just once. We got in pretty late in the evening, and booked our trump hotel room right before we pulled into it (go big or go home). But below, we found one of these right outside of Vegas, and had been dreaming of this moment since we left Orlando. Gotta start the night out right. 

After our nutritious In-n-out, we were ready. Actually, all I wanted to do was sleep in the worlds most comfortable bed and watch TV in our bathroom (???). But I powered through.   

 

 And thankfully we had our(complimentary!) Trump water to energize us- and we were ready to hit the town. 

 

 

After I watched Randy gave the city of Las Vegas a small donation, and after touring this crazy town.. we got a really good deal on these $18.00 slushies and called it a night. 

Our morning views were quite nice, and it was really hard to wake up. Seriously the best sleep of my life. But we wanted to try this breakfast place before it got crazy. 

Hash House A Go Go:I would definitely recommend this as a morning-after brunch. It was amazingly delicious  the portions were huge and the line was still pretty crazy already. It was a little off the strip, so parking wasn't insane and it was definitely worth it! We both had a version of their scrambles. I was full for 5 days after. They even have one in Orlando for all you O-towners!  

                                             

I had to throw this in, this was his main job on the road. We had to do this every 10 miles. Not really.. but pretty close. The bugs were intense. 

 LA: And finally we made it! Our last stop before our future home. We made it just in time for my sister-in-laws birthday party, and some delish food and fun celebrations! It was so nice to finally be in our state-home. The next morning, we set out and made it to our now home in San Francisco! Thanks again to everyone for you prayers/support/encouragement and hopefully for the future visits! Such a fun trip/will never do it again. But it's something everyone should do once in their life. Bucket List it.  

  

Happy Birthday Kim!

route66: Last but not least- as promised, a little slice:

(If you actually watched, I know that was the most exhilarating route 66 video you've ever seen! I don't pride myself in iphone technologies, but thought you'd get a tiny idea. It's much more exciting than that. And you can jump on it anywhere, but we read that the best places to catch is was around Arizona).
