On the Road to Salt Lake City

I arrived in Los Angeles on time Monday.  The flight was uneventful – the best kind.  Of course it was dinner time when I arrived so we stopped for Mexican food before going to Robin’s house.  I had my favorite carnitas.

After an early evening for me, we got up yesterday and packed the car.  Here are a couple of views of that.

We got going in the late morning.  Of course we didn’t make it out of Orange County before we made our first stop – at In and Out Burger.  After a hamburger and fries, we got on the freeway and started towards Las Vegas.  When we go to Las Vegas, there is a required stop at Baker.  We always stop at the Mad Greek.

They have lots of food but this is what we always get.

Robin had a malt and I had a shake.  We are a bit boring since they are both vanilla.  We had thought about stopping to eat in Las Vegas at our favorite taco stand – Roberto’s, but we were too full of malts/shakes. 

Our next stop was Walmart in Mesquite.  What is a road trip without at least one stop at Walmart.  I doubt if it is the only time.

We continued on to Cedar City, Utah where we stopped for the night.  Robin likes to stay at the Holiday Inn Express but we couldn’t find one on our IPhones so we planned on staying at the Hampton Inn.  As we got to the correct off-ramp, there was a Holiday Inn Express so here we are.  Since we both like black olive pizzas and are probably the only people in the world who likes them, we called the local pizza place and they delivered to the room.

We have about 230 miles to go to get to Salt Lake City.  We just finished our free breakfast so will be getting ready to get on the road in a few minutes.  Of course, we looked up all the quilt shops just in case we needed to make a non-food stop.
