day 12-Tusayan AZ to San Diego CA

This was a long driving day. One of the longest on the trip. For that reason we left about 8 AM so we could stop as much as we would need but still get there in the light. The kids are starting to show signs off little sleep. And Ethan is not a fan of National Parks. He likes things like ATV rides, playing in White Sands, and the waterpark. I think all four of us will like the things planned for Cali.

We have decided our next family vacation will not be a road trip. We have gone 3500 miles so far and we are tired of sitting. This is what we saw for about 6 hours.

the kids got pipe cleaners to create with.

We ate a early dinner or late lunch at a Mexican place that Ben likes in Palm Springs so he could get their shrimp stuffed peppers.

The kids swam at the hotel then we went in search of a laundromat because our hotel doesn't have a washer dryer and we need some clean clothes! Especially since we will be going to my Great Aunt Mildred's church tomorrow.
