Day 3 and 4

Well I'm finally getting to the last 2 days of our trip. It's only taken me 2 plus weeks to get this done. Blame Scott I had a hard time getting the pics from him as all of them were on his camera. Ok here we go....

After a crazy night with the Dorman's we headed out to Phoenix to stay with my cousin that night. There were 2 ways to get to Phoenix one was going north then south to see White Sands the other was south to see the Carlsbad caverns. We decided to go see White Sands National Park. The terrain was anything but ordinary. It started out with complete desert area to a lush valley. Below is a picture from the lush valley.

To get to White Sands we had go up and over a mountain on back roads. On top of the mountain we came across a town called Cloudcroft which looks like a town straight out of a European ski town. It was so cute. Scott and I would love to go back during the winter to see the snow.



Going down the mountain on the way to White Sands. Its the white in the background. This picture doesn't begin to describe how beautiful it was.



Finally made it!



It was so bright we could not take our sunglasses off at all. Probably wasn't a good idea to wear long sleeves that day.



After White Sands we headed to Las Cruces to eat lunch then get on an actual highway for the rest of the trip. New Mexico was by far our favorite state. There is so much to explore. You could spend weeks and weeks seeing all the there is to see.

We finally make it to Phoenix around 7 to find my cousin was having a Fantasy Football picks party that night complete with a keg. We walked into a total frat party and were totally exhausted. Needless to say we didn't get a lot of sleep that night but it was good to see Jay.

The next morning we were up early and ready to get to LA! The last day was filled with a lot of the same scenery as days before, deserts!

YAY! We finally made it to California!

On the way to LA you go through Palm Springs. I don't think my car has ever had a degree temp that high.

We finally made it to LA!! Yay!!



I think this was a great way to end the trip.


Well I hope you enjoyed reading about the highlights of our trip. Overall we had a lot of fun, but I don't think I want to sit in a car for 4 days ever again!
