{Road Trip} Day Eight - Desert Driving, Waving to Mexico, and Night Swimming Under the Fireworks

With the change in plans, we left California a little behind schedule on Friday night.  Keeping in mind that Hubby was still planning to be at work on Tuesday morning (back at home in South Carolina), to get a good chunk of driving out of the way, we drove through the night (and through the desert, too) and arrived at the historic Arizona State Capitol building in Phoenix, AZ first thing Saturday morning. 






From Phoenix, we continued driving on into New Mexico and crossed over into Texas, stopping in El Paso to wave over the border at Mexico and grab a late lunch...

We continued on through the l-o-o-o-n-g part of Texas, stopping in Fort Stockton for the night.

The littles were just thrilled to take in some night swimming while we enjoyed the city's 4th of July fireworks off in the distance...





Happy Birthday, U.S.A.,!

More on tap for tomorrow...
