April 19
After an amazingly long day of packing on Monday and a hectic day on Tuesday, we finally left in the evening at 5:30pm; only 7.5 hours late. The car was so packed that we could barely see out the back window. We went to go get our farewell burritos and we got on the freeway. Roomie did the first half of the driving and I did the second. She has a stick shift and she taught me how to drive it only a few days before. I think I did pretty well, I only stalled about five times in one intersection. Apparently I’m a clutch popper.

It was such a relief to get to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Tucson and sleep in comfy beds. They were so nice to wait up for us because we rolled in at around 1am. We slept in pretty late and went to brunch. I told Roomie that they were really funny people, but she was still surprised at how feisty Grandma was and how silly Grandpa was. It was pretty funny to watch Grandpa, who’s about 6’5”, climb in and out of the back seat of Roomie’s two-door Honda. We did a few other errands with them, but unfortunately had to get on the road. We really wish that we could have stayed two nights with them to relax and enjoy their company, but we had reservations in Roswell to get to. Another eight hour day ahead of us!
