3-Day Dash
In mid- December we left Birdie in Phoenix and drove to the PNW to be with our family over the holidays. It was so awesome to see all the beautiful people we miss so much when we’re on the road. We enjoyed a joyous, snowy, festive holiday! We hope you did too!
Looking ahead into January we found a small window, a break in the weather! We took off on the 11th and headed back to Phoenix exactly the same way we had come home – it seemed to be the best winter weather route – from Washington, to Idaho, Montana, Idaho again, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and finally back to Arizona and back to Birdie. This drive is beautiful – the mountains and valleys in these areas are all unique and all very picturesque. We made the trip in 3 days and had really great weather the entire way. Whew! There’s a video montage of our trip on our Instagram account:

Shoutout to Best Western Plus Abbey Inn in St. George, Utah for the absolute best pet room ever. There was a dog bed, squeaky toy, bowls and even a bag of treats. I think Ninja must have booked this room – he didn’t seem at all surprised by all the pet accessories. In fact, it was like he expected it!
Reunited With Birdie!
Once reunited with Birdie in Phoenix, we dropped the rental car off at the airport and had the best BBQ take out at Big Nates Family BBQ in Mesa. Don’t let the location fool you – it’s in a business area. The brisket was melt in your mouth and smokey, and the sides were super nummy as well!
