On the road! Day 1

Miles traveled- 310
Sights seen-Mexico?
We made the most boring leg of the trip last night, San Diego to Scottsdale. We left after work and didn't get in until well after 1am.
Not much to report on that except there are a lot of areas on 8 in western Arizona that smell like the inside of a porta potty after a hot game day at a football stadium. Pretty disgusting.
P got really excited every time we could see the Mexican
Border, so that entertained us for a while. Otherwise it was dark and boring.
We made it to the hotel and got a power nap and are up bright and early to meet Dad and Harry in the lobby to say hi and have some breakfast before they head out to play some golf. Excited we were able to meet up with them on our randomly overlapping vacations!
Oh, one plus about traveling at night is that you do not realize how much the landscape changes. We woke up and pulled the curtains back and were like Bam! Welcome to Arizona! It was like we teleported here or something. Pretty amazing!
Ok, today the plan is the take off north right after breakfast, maybe swing through Sedona, and then head to the Canyon. No real plans for the afternoon besides standing at the edge and staring in awe. Maybe the scenic drive too. Also, the one must do is secure our back country permits so we can camp overnight tomorrow night. Praying that the weather will ensure some empty spots!
