After an 8:30 AM departure schedule we got on the road at 6 PM Saturday. With the remote control in the car missing the ipods and gameboys provided the on road entertainment. We were making pretty good time and stopped for gas and nutritional snack at the combo Pilot/Dairy Queen. We loaded up on gas and blizzards and were oin the road again.
It was about 11PM and we were 45 minutes outside of Phoenix when disaster struck. A freeway closure on I-10 from an 18 wheeler cargo fire. We sat on the freeway until 1 AM and then we were moving again. Once we cranked the trip up everyone complained about being hungry so a 1:45AM drive through stop at McDonalds hit the mark and we had the energy for the final two hour drive to Sedona.
With the whole clan sleeping the final two hours were not the easiest drive but at 3:50 AM we pulled into the hotel. Operating like zombies at 4:30 AM we were all in bed for a relaxing 2 1/2 hours of sleep.
The next morning we met my mother, Ed, and my brothers family for a day of exploring the resort.
