700 Miles in a Day!

When we got up Saturday morning from Las Cruces, New Mexico to drive to our destination of Case Grande, Arizona, little did we know we would actually end up sleeping in our beds at home in San Diego that night!! What was to be a 5+ hour - 340 mile drive, ended up being a 12 hour - 700 mile drive! ~ Vasili just decided to push through all the way home! He was a man on a mission!

Athan & Alex weren't expecting us home until the next day, so they had to scramble to get things pulled together before we arrived at 8:30 that evening! But, they were so happy to see us, as we were to see them! (By the way, they pulled it off! ~ the house, yard, and cars all were sparkling and looked great!) ~ whew! ~ thank goodness for text messaging!

Home Sweet Home!!

We left New Mexico and crossed through Arizona
These beautiful cactus were our friends for miles.

We took a lunch break to stretch our legs and backs.

Here we go, the last leg of our journey!

We were very excited to see this sign!
