Meredith & Tom's Trip to California
Day 7, Nov.7: Zion National Park, UT to Carlsbad
Distance:
467 miles
We woke up pretty early and were on the road by 9:30am. I was ready to get the hell out of Zion Park - even though
it was beautiful. We made our way to Interstate 15 and before we knew it, we saw our first palm trees! Tom and I were so
excited. The weather had also climbed to about 64 degrees. Soon we were just outside of Las Vegas. We decided
we wouxld make a brief stop; Tom wanted to take some shots of me & Ham in front of New York New York Casino. It was kind
of nice being in Vegas just for fun, and not work. Back on the road it wasn't long before we crossed the California border!! We both
kept saying outloud, "I can't believe we're here!" A few hours and a lot of traffic later, we saw the signs leading us
directly to San Diego. Ironically just as we approached, it started to rain. By 5pm we rolled up to Earle and Joanne's
(Tom's parents) place and surprised them by ringing the doorbell, hiding, and sending Ham in. We hung out for awhile, then left
them to fend for our dog as we went out to celebrate! We had arrived!!
