Our Last Adventure!

The time came to go home. The adventure we had to get home is quite the story, so let's start at the beginning...

To the mall! Why? You'll see...

:)

OH BOY!!!!

So we decided to get two dogs while we were in Arizona. "Why?" You ask? Well I honestly couldn't tell you, but I can tell you we are so extremely happy that we did it! Please welcome to the family...

EMMA & COOPER

We had to get more ice for our coolers... You know what that means? Liv got hypothermia AGAIN! Whoops :P

Emma and Cooper loved to snuggle up the entire ride home. This is Cooper with Liv!

Okay so now to talk about the adventure! We were on our way home at exactly 5:00PM. We drove and drove and drove. Eventually, it was time to get some dinner (it was almost 10PM). So we went to Taco Bell. We took way too long to take the dogs out so while we were there Taco Bell closed... SO UPSETTING. So we had to go to McDonald's.

Julie kept on driving but, guess what happened next? WE GOT PULLED OVER BY THE COPS. That was fun. He was a pretty nice cop, but we still got a ticket for going 85 in a 75, WHOOPS AGAIN!

After awhile, Julie got tired so she wanted to switch with Grace and have her drive. Grace was way too tired to drive, though. So we pulled into a McDonald's parking lot and slept for like 45 minutes. While we slept, we turned our GPS system off (this wasn't a good idea). 

After 45 minutes, Julie felt awake enough to drive some more. I'm not sure how long we drove for before we pulled up to a traffic jam. After sitting there for ONE WHOLE HOUR we asked a truck driver if he knew what was going on. We were informed that there was a traffic jam for 4 miles because someone 4 miles ahead got into a car accident. Unfortunately, the person in the accident died. Therefore, they had to take pictures and do paperwork and etc. He said he had been stopped for 7 hours before in a similar situation. So... we went off road into the median to back track and find a different way. 

Oh man... Around 5AM Grace took over and drove the car. She drove for a good portion of the second day but Julie finished off the last part. Before we went home, we had to go to PetSmart to get a kennel and bed for Cooper and Emma. We finally arrived home around 9:30PM. Keep in mind that there is a 2 hour time difference between here and Arizona. So we were in the car from 5PM-7:30PM the next day... It took us 21.75 hours to get to Arizona and it took us 26.5 hours to get back home. Holy Camoley...

So that is our adventure! We didn't take many pictures during this. I think we were all a little tired and just ready to get home. We have decided that we are not sure if we will drive ever again! It was a rough drive home. 

This is the last post. Thanks, everyone, for following our blog! We really appreciate all of the support :)
