    Checkin at Four Corners Monument

      After waking up in our hotel casino this morning, it was time to hit the road and head to the Four Corners Monument.

      The monument marks the point where four states - Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona meet. We amused ourselves by trying to stand in all four states at once.

    Afterwards we crossed the state line in to Arizona and it was amazing watching how the desert rocks changed from red to pink to white over the distance of just a few miles.

      We stopped for lunch at Pita Jungle in Flagstaff where I had a super tasty tuna salad and peanut butter smoothie.

    We then drove along Route 66 on our way towards California and there was so much to see. I had my camera out of the window for the whole ride.

    The route was so deserted that we actually saw tumbleweeds blowing across the road.

    I was so excited that I had Tom stop the car so I could take a photo of one.

      We stopped off in Seligman, one of the coolest Route 66 ghost towns which was filled with retro shops, rusty classic cars and mannequins that looked like Elvis.

      We couldn't resist stopping off at the Roadkill Cafe to get a squished penny and to have a peek at the taxedermy.

    Tom stopped at the last rest stop in Arizona so he could try and find me a tumbleweed to take home in the desert, even though there was a giant sign warning us about poisonous snakes and scorpions.

    We then made our way across the state line in to California and headed towards Yucca Valley where we were about to have our first hotel from hell experience.

    Checkin at Americas Best Value Inn & Suites-Oasis of Eden

      We'd planned to spend the night in an awesome theme room with a pink cadillac bed but shortly after checking in, we found bed bugs and had to make a speedy exit. Luckily we made it to a nearby Motel 6 with a full refund and we were thankful this was our first bad experience out of the hundred plus hotels we must have stayed in so far.
