60 Hour Road Trip- Part 5 & 6 Arizona annd Heading Home

Our last stop of our 60 Hour Road Trip was Kim and Jon's house. We got there later than expected but the boys were excited to be there and I was excited to see Bryan.
We went to dinner with Bryan's parents and Jon and Kim and the kids stayed home and watched a movie.
Thursday, Kim and I went to lunch with Melissa, with Luke and Julia in tow. And then Kim invited everyone over for dinner and swimming. My kids love spending time with their cousins. Sally and kids and Jordan and boys came over. I am grateful for the time we are able to spend with family.
Friday, I started to get us ready to make the long drive home while Bryan went to breakfast with his brother and then Kim took the boys to see Minions while we went to lunch with Sally for her birthday. When we got back, we loaded up and headed to El Paso, where we stopped for the night.
We got a 2 bedroom room with a sofa bed in the living/kitchen area. I think everyone slept very well, even though it took a little while for them all to calm down and fall asleep.
Saturday, we drove the rest of the way home. I started looking for properties with lots of acres. I don't want to move from my house but it would be fun to have lots of acres, for four-wheeling of course ;)
Sunday, back to life and church meetings for Bryan.

I am so glad we were able to go on this trip. My kids had such a great time with cousins. I had a great time visiting with everyone. I am glad my kids road trip well, better than me. And I am grateful for a supportive husband who only gives me a hard time about leaving for so long because he misses us so much while we are gone.

*I am ready but not ready for school to start. I wish we had a few more weeks to play with Texas friends.
