Today we head out for Arizona! I am excited to hit the road because it means we get to see my Mamaw tomorrow! The last time I was in Arizona was when my Papa was not well and I flew out to be with him during his last moments. It is hard to not reminisce of times gone by when you are in familiar places you don’t walk often. I remember my sister and I going to Target in mourning to purchase clothes we were not prepared to buy. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and I remember feeling comfort she was there with me.

We arrived at our new campsite around 4 and the children of course ran to the playground. I had requested this site because it was right next to the pool and the playground. Prime location when you have small children. The campsite is stunning. The views are not what we have become accustomed to but the cleanliness, full hookups, paved sites and warm weather overcome the views. And a beautiful campsite is not so bad to look at either.

We are all looking forward to a few days of rest and maybe even a few coffee shops too.
