Saturday: Day 2 of our crazy trip
We started the day by sleeping in and then trying to be as quiet as possible while the rest of the house woke up. We then ate breakfast and took a bath in the big jacuzzi tub. Before we left we ran some energy off outside and took time to take some pictures in front of the house.
At about 11 am we started the second car leg of our trip. Since D was driving, M got to take lots of pictures out the car windows of the desert scenery. Never having been further south than Colorado in her memory, M had never seen cactus in real life before...
nor hills made completely of sand (especially offset by the water canal)...
nor hills made out of piles of rocks.
To say the least it was an interesting 6 hour drive along the Mexican border, especially as we entered into California and were stopped once for agricultural inspection and then an hour later came up to the immigration check-point. Needless to say, 4 blue-eyed blondes with a Colorado license plate had no problem getting through. However, we did notice the Bronco fan we had seen at the rest area 20 miles back having his truck sniffed out by the drug dog!
We got to D's friends' house by about 5:15 pm. They were out in the garage with their P who was also visiting, so we played outside for an hour before it got too dark and we had to head inside to the garage to practice gymnastics in E's home gym setup. D and J headed to get us all supper (at In-N-Out which was one of the required restaurants M had on the trip list). While waiting for supper to come, we took a very cold dip in the pool. After supper it was time to get ready for bed and read some books, so we all gathered on the coach while L read to us.
