Road trip Charlotte Nc. To Mesa Az.
Love of my life and I have spent our longest road trip together. We usually fly to any destination requiring 12 hours or more road time. This year for our youngest grandson’s high school graduation we chose to drive. Here we are in Mesa and she hasn’t smothered me with a pillow yet. We planned this trip out as close as possible to 8 hour stops. And were able to get some military base lodging reservations. Left home afternoon May 16 with overnight stop in Knoxville Tn. Next stop Millington Tn. Navy Lodge. Memphis Tennessee has the record for worst roads and drivers. Long day on bad to mediocre highway from Memphis to Oklahoma City. Back on the road again to next stop at Kirkland AFB Albuquerque. Very nice Roadrunner inn. Day five road through Navajo nation up to Page Az. Took a 2 night break to sight see. Visits to Antelope Canyon and Zion National Park. May 22 back on the road south through Sedona to Mesa. Nice to be off the road for a few days back on the road home on Monday.

I’m exhausted just reading about your trip. Looks like grandson is nearly as tall as grandpa and will most likely look down on you in a year or so.
Arizona is an amazing state, so much to see.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Grandson is definitely long and lean he is going to enlist in the Marine Corps this year. He should go to basic in Camp Pendleton in California. But Grandma and I are secretly hoping he goes to Parris Island in South Carolina. That picture of him standing between the old guy and the woman. That old guy is my son the woman is the stepmother.
Big Al the bread is really good with a bit of honey on it. But you gotta eat it while it is hot. Letting it get cold it gets chewy.

Back on the road in the morning. Had a great visit with the grand babies. They grow up too fast.
Stops planned in Gallup NM. Almagordo NM. (White Sands). Amarillo TX. Little Rock Ar. Tulahoma TN. Six days on the road ……….I think there might be a country song in there somewhere.
If you don’t hear from me in a few days it may be possible that my wife found a thick enough pillow.
