Night #4

Longest travel day EVER. After 12 hours in the car your butt starts to get a little numb. Yeah you heard me right, 12 HOURS!!!! Lucky for us we picked up two hours today so we get to sleep in a little tomorrow, YAY for sleep. So it's currently 11:15 p.m. eastern time but in Phoenix, AZ it's only 8:15 p.m. The majority of today was spent in the car and consisted of trying to find a cooperative radio station. But in the middle of nowhere it's a little hard. Each time a good song came on static would start to take over, so the iPod was plugged in for a while, props go out to Rachel for setting up our song lists. If it's on the list, it's on the list...sure Rachel :)
Two major non-family shout outs go to our buddy Jimmy Cryspin who sponsored our hotel room and dinner at the very lovely Embassy Suites right in the city. You so totally rock dude!! The view is pretty killer; we open our front door to over look the pool that is surrounded by palm trees. And the mountains that line the city look like a backdrop from the movies, postcard perfect.
Second shout out goes to KNIX 102.5 FM best country music north of Tucson and hopefully will lead us in Cali. Representin!!
We made it for happy hour at the hotel and had complimentary (our new favorite word) hors d'oeuvres and drinks. You should see the mustaches on some guys in Arizona they are pretty funky lookin'. Por ejemplo [this is me practicing my Spanish, I mean we did see Mexico today, well we could see the fence that tries to keep immigrants out] : so we're sitting at a table & a man sitting at the end of the bar has a pretty bushy mustache, but it's not only bushy, it comes to the corners of his mouth and is then twisted, looking almost gelled, up at the ends. Like those French chefs you see in the movies. Haha it was...different.
No interesting road kill stories for today but we did have to go through an inspection check point, to make sure we weren't smuggling anything or anyone. Just to make sure no one would be confused we turned up our country music and sang along; we didn't want them thinking we were illegal or anything so we thought the country music might help.

Tonight's a relaxing night, maybe hitting the pool later on but sweet dreams and more to come...
