Day 37: AZ to CA

We set off around 8 am to try and beat the desert heat for the drive home. We were successful, plus there was cloud coverage to help ease the high temperature. We stopped in Barstow and found the weather around 80, so we opened the windows and enjoyed the cool weather. Our drive was swift and direct: to get home safely and before 2 pm. Mission accomplished. We pulled up to the curb, began unpacking, and finished around 3:30 pm. Laundry started, off we headed for dinner at Home Town Buffet to tell grandma to tell her all about our trip.
