Honeymove

WOW! What an amazing trip. You would typically dread a cross country haul with a 26ft moving truck with a trailer attached to the back hauling an SUV. Well not me and my hubby!

Day 1:
The trip started a tad later than we wanted to, as we approach Bellvue (just 15 minutes from downtown Nashville) the tears filled my eyes. I didn't lose it but sadness was definitely consuming my world at that moment. Leaving my amazing friends is incredibly hard we've all grown so close over the years. Without their support I would not have made it to where I am today and as I've mentioned before I absolutely LOVE where I am today. I owe this great life to each and every one of them.
On to the road......Day 1 was our longest day we road hard to Oklahoma and stayed at Jeff's Aunt and Uncle's, enjoyed conversation and a good nights rest.

Day 2:
Enjoyed a great breakfast and then hit the road in some heavy rain storms. We travelled what seemed to be a very short drive to Santa Rosa, NM. This town was very small, we checked into the hotel and then headed out for some grub. Our choices other than fast food and Denny's were 2 local places..Santa Fe and Joseph's bar and grill. We chose Joseph's. We went in to the bar area and had some drinks ordered some food and were surprised when the manager put a bottle of champagne down for us and said congratulations! :) HOW GREAT! We finished and headed to the hotel for some shut eye.

Day 3:
Today we took a detour up to the 4 corners. I've always wanted to go! Its a very small monument with snocone booths and other small trinkets for sale. We both took pics being in 4 places at the same time.....who said it was impossible. :) I also took pictures of Shoney Bear (who sat in the cab the entire ride with a great view out the window) doing the same and sent the pics to work so they can add to the Adventures of Shoney Bear section of the newsletter. We continued on and landed in the grand canyon right about sunset. GORGEOUS sunset might I add! That great big hole is really HUGE! We stayed at a resort near the south rim, had dinner & wine and relaxed in the hot tub. It was a great great day!

Day 4:
Up early to watch the sunrise over the great big hole. It was very relaxing, the elevation was getting to me so we went back to the room and took a nap until we had to hit the road headed back to Flagstaff and then south to Cottonwood, AZ....where we went SKYDIVING!!!!!! OH wow how amazing it was! Freefall for 1 mile at 120mph and then slow down for the next mile and take in the amazing views of Sedona Red Rocks, mountains, and small canyons. What a rush!!!! It was so much fun. It was a wedding present to me from Jeff and it was something perfect for me. After the amazing rush of skydiving we had to hit the road to Laughlin, NV. We landed in Laughlin and hit the casino floor for a minute. We had a blast at the casino and off to bed.

Day 5:
Up early for breakfast, pack up and head on out to California. The day was short the miles were easy and we landed safely in Santa Clarita, CA.

The Honeymove was simply put ..... PERFECT!
