This day was our last driving day on our trip to Phoenix. We decided to stop off at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, AZ. This motel was the inspiration for the Cozy Cone in the movie Cars. Very fun!
We drove through the Coconino National Forest and some mountains on our way to Phoenix. I really enjoyed saying Coconino and watching the transition from evergreens to saguaro cacti. The kids really, really enjoyed learning the proper usages of the words cactus and cacti. I love our weirdos!
After we arrived in Phoenix, we met our friends, Nick and Brittany, for lunch. Tyler had a meeting during the afternoon, so the kids and I tried to kill time while we waited for our room at the resort to be ready. As it was miserably hot outside, we thought it would be best to find water so we found a small pool to play in. The kids splashed around and I tried to make sure no one drowned while staying cool.
After we were able to get into our room, we got everything unloaded and squared away and then headed out for dinner with Nick and Brittany and their kiddos. We decided to hit a Chicago classic that has made its way to Arizona (probably due to the snow birds and the Cubs training here in the spring). Mmm...Italian Beef at Portillo's!
The youngest two of our group weren't really feeling the picture but the rest were having a good time!
After dinner, we headed back to our resort to scope things out and prepare for Friday. We thought these lit palm trees were particularly pretty.
