I always love our road trips. We usually visit Yuma twice a month for extra cirricular water activities.. We make the 2 1/2 hour drive thru Mountain, desert, and into Arizona to get there. The drive isnt my favorite.....Ive done it so many times that there is nothing new to look at, nothing exciting....just a long drive. lol. anyways, We usually leave friday Afternoon and make it there by dinner. We ended up going to eat pizza the first night. Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to a hot cup of Circle K coffee.....The best:) and enjoyed the cool morning breeze as the sun slowly schorched everything in its path. The kids ate there breakfast and we were on our way...We picked up some snacks and drinks along the way, but made it there by 8:00. Once in the water, every care you have melts away. We drug our tubes up stream and then floated down, passed our spot, and kept going.....After about 10 minutes of floating we d
ecided to drag the tubes back before we ended up hitch hiking back..lol.So we stuck the kids back in the tubes, and shoved Dakota in the other tube. (He was panting and being a big baby...) Then we proceeded to drag them upstream against the current of the Colorado river....Nice.It only took us 3 times longer then it did to float down....Hahaha.Then we played til 2pm. After that we went to lunch/dinner with his dad at the Cracker Barrel. I love that place.When we gotback t our RV, the air had shut off and froze over completely....did I meantion it was 105 out there....We decided to take the kids to the park on the water and let them cool off until bed time. Then we went back and moved over to our Motorhome. It had 2 AC's....lol.The next day was pretty much the same. Early mornings, sitting in the rising sun of Yuma with my 5 star gas station coffee.....enjoying the slight breeze until like I said eventually that gorgeous morning turns into the slight resemblance of hell. By 7:30 we were jumping feet first into that glorious water...:)We spent the day there, visited some friends. Floated an hour down stream. We had parked his dads truck down there on the levy so we could float longer and the drive back..((.Much better Idea. ))Then we went back, packed up, washed the car and went to lunch at Pattis Diner. We were on the road by 3:30- and home by 6:00. Great trip, only wish it lasted longer:...next one is in October..wo
ot. woot.
