Day 6 – Heading to Flagstaff, AZ

After we left Eddie’s friend’s house, we drove to Glendale, AZ to visit one of my close family friends and her fiancé. Before arriving at Meg and Dan’s house we filled up with gas at a QT station. We still had 3/4 of a tank, but we decided we need to keep the tank as full as possible since we’re literally driving through the desert. The mileage was 16306 and gas was $3.139 per gallon. The truck took 9.036 gallons for $28.36.

It was great to visit with Meg and Dan! We saw pics of their new house when they were visiting us back around Christmas. We enjoyed a nice dinner of salad and pizza. Meg and Dan are getting married in November. Actually, their wedding is exactly one year after Eddie and I got married so our one year anniversary will be a trip to Arizona for the wedding! We are so excited for them.

Meg and Dan showed Eddie all of the cacti they had in their yard and were even nice enough to re-pot a piece of one of theirs for Eddie to take home. It now lives in our cup holder and Eddie named him Jeff. Eddie now thinks he is going to collect random cacti to bring home with us since he found out that all you have to do is throw the broken pieces in a pot and they’ll start growing.

We’re now heading towards Flagstaff, AZ for the night although I have a feeling we’re not going to make it all the way there. We need to be up early tomorrow to rent our motorcycle to explore the Grand Canyon. We might stop sooner and get some sleep and just wake up earlier to finish the drive to the Harley dealership.

We are both really looking forward to tomorrow’s adventures. I’m sure I’ll be taking tons of pics.
