On Wednesday, our last full day in Las Vegas, we slept in (until 7 am!) and had breakfast at Hash House a Go Go in the Imperial Palace. Paul liked his meatloaf hash, and Jen tolerated her egg scramble with chicken and red peppers (she really should have ordered the French toast). We sat in [...]

On our full last day in the Southwest, we had a large breakfast of juevos rancheros, muffins, and fruit at our B&B, the Cozy Cactus (it wins “Best Breakfast” for the trip) and then went for a hike to the Seven Sacred Pools (off Soldier’s Pass Trail). We hiked right by it and kept going [...]

Before we reached the Grand Canyon, we stopped for lunch in Flagstaff at Fazoli’s, a fast food Italian restaurant. It was unexpectedly delicious, winning “Best Lunch” for the trip.

Immediately after Montezuma Castle, we drove to Tuzigoot National Monument. It was a last-minute addition to our itinerary. Ever since, we’ve been interested in National Monuments as well as National Parks.

On this day, we started the second leg of our trip. We took an early morning flight from Las Vegas to Phoenix (still “Most Turbulent Flight Ever”). We picked up our rental car and immediately drove up to the Camp Verde area to visit Montezuma Castle National Monument.
