\u00a0We started to realize, too late, that maybe we made a mistake committing to this drive.<\/p>\n

But, in typical Brophy fashion, we said,\u00a0“we can handle it.”\u00a0 And so far, it’s been fun.\u00a0 (so far….)<\/p>\n

\"day-1-drive-to-fla-ca-to-las-cruces-starbucks\"<\/a>

Gotta have Starbucks for the road!<\/p><\/div>\n

Day 1 – Left San Clemente an hour later than planned – at 6:18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The stop at Starbucks slowed us down, because we run into too many people we know there, and they all wanted to check out the van!<\/p>\n

This sums up the Drive:<\/p>\n

*Endless, straight roads<\/p>\n

\"Saguaro<\/a>

Saguaro Cactus Everywhere!<\/p><\/div>\n

*Saguaro Cactus’ a plenty<\/p>\n

*Mexican radio stations (our first few hours were literally a stones throw from the Mexican border)<\/p>\n

*Dry dry dry dry HEAT<\/p>\n

*We learned how to handle pulling a U-Haul trailer (somewhat)<\/p>\n

*The coolest thing about driving this Escape\u00a0camper van<\/a>?\u00a0 We converted the back so that we could take turns lounging on the queen sized bed.\u00a0 Nice!<\/p>\n

\"day-1-drive-to-fla-ca-to-las-cruces-miles-and-miles\"<\/a>

Somewhere along the Mexican Border!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today’s mission:\u00a0 Drive to Austin, Texas.\u00a0 And we’ll be camping there.\u00a0 Stay tune for future updates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And if you’re going to Expo, come and see us!<\/p>\n
