Quartsite was our new camping location. Many of the full-time families were continuing onto another meet-up at the Bash in Lake Havasu. However, not only did we not have tickets for this event, we also were ready to move onto a quieter setting for a bit. Meeting up with lots of other families is nice but also overwhelming and tiring.

The Full-Time Families group that we are a part of had another meet-up in a town called Lake Havasu AZ near a balloon festival. We all camped on BLM land outside the town. Some of our friends we had made at a previous family meet up had saved us a spot so we decided to check it out.

As you know from the last post, we had Wobbles at the dealership to get some work done before our warranty ran out therefore we were homeless in Vegas! Justin did a great job researching hotels for us to stay in for a couple days and landed upon the Platinum Hotel.

Just to let you folks know, I’m not a fan of Las Vegas. Justin and I have been here twice, both on our honeymoon as a break from National Parks. The architecture and art of the casino’s and the amazing shows Vegas has are it’s only highlights in my opinion. That being said, they also often have cheap flights and that is why we found ourselves here! We were picking up my lovely Mom to spend a week with us!! Hurray!!! We were so excited!

This was part of our trip where we were trying to get from warm weather to our chilly Colorado Christmas destination with little stops along the way. We wanted to breeze through the cold weather as swiftly as possible with some effort in not making it feel miserable.
We spent about a day and a half in Santa Fe. It’s a cute city that we definitely enjoyed!
I don’t usually create an entire post about driving days but this one in particular deserves a post itself. What a day we had!

While we were boondocking in the Tucson area we met a lovely family who had kiddos just a little bit older than our girls. The kids totally hit it off to the point where we didn’t see a whole lot of our oldest when we were camping there. Half of the time they were adventuring around the land and the other half of the time they were playing in a Palo Verde tree. It was pretty sweet and our oldest was able to sport a handful of new bandaids each day! Ah, the prickly desert. We learned that the family we met had a boat down in Mexico that they lived on for half of the year. They very kindly invited us to follow them down to Mexico to check out the area while they were preparing their boat.

A city with an odd mix of tropical palm trees and desert surroundings. We knew going into Phoenix that this is a very large city but we didn’t imagine things being quite as spread out as they were. The land of 70* weather and pools was upon us.

As a last minute decision, based on advice from folks we talked to, we decided to spend a few days in the Sedona area on our way from Flagstaff to Phoenix. We’re glad we did, and we’re adding Sedona to our list of places-to-come-back-to! We explored the touristy shops downtown and found a great boon docking spot just outside the city.

A likable city! Hurray! We had originally reserved 3 nights at the KOA here, but ended up extending to 5 days as there was much more we wanted to explore in the city.
