Final Days on the Road

Don't be confused! This is Thanksgiving 2018. 

Leslie and Peg.

We are here and settled in Fresno! It's been hectic so I wanted to catch up to provide photos from the road trip from Gallup NM and onward to Fresno.
We all decided to meet up inside AZ at Petrified Forest National Park- we did not have the time to drive through the park but we have all been previously. Let me say this park is beautiful and definitely underrated as far as National Parks go. A must-see if you are driving through or on the Route 66 route.

Bella is an official Bark Ranger.

We also stopped at the Walnut Canyon National Monument just inside Flagstaff AZ. It was 

Official Bark Ranger duties. 

I cut myself out of this picture for cosmetic purposes but look at windswept Bella and the mountains in the background. 

Even her shadow is adorable! 

There are 700+ steps on a trail down to the bottom of the canyon. We did not have time to go down but enjoyed the view. 

After this stopped the Drive That Lasted Forever to Barstow, CA- our stop for the night and where Highway 40 ends. It was a beautiful and long drive through the Mojave desert which turned into a dark and winding driving through the Mojave Desert as the sun set. We made it through the CA border just fine- no plants or fruits to check out.

From Barstow to Fresno was a scenic drive with more traffic and variety of terrain. Drove by lots of orchards including oranges, almonds, and vineyards. Did you know that Selma, CA is the raisin capital of the world? Now you do. You heard it through the grapevine. 

I think in the distance are the field of solar windmills. They are so cool. In my next life I want to come back as a solar windmill and blow through the desert. 

Eternally grateful to my parents for helping Bella and I move cross-country. Dad drove out Friday and Mom flew out on Saturday back home. 

On Friday we dined at a cozy little Italian restaurant. 

This adorable Victorian-style house can be yours for $859,000. This is in the neighborhood around my apartment. 

Tomorrow is first day of work. Game on, Fresno! 

Peace, love, and Good Vibrations,
