Franklinsanity

4:33 pm somewhere near Ash Fork, Az. Once again, did a lot of driving…so far. At least for me. 

Guess this may be the new normal – HHW has work to do too, after all.

But for now, enjoying high plains (maybe?) major clouds, scrub and the landscape shadows the two create on a bright day. JT is singing about sunshine in his pocket – Princess Q is asleep and T is puttering around with a workbook. The dogs are chewing on new treats, which is good because Oonagh briefly kept trying to recap the trunk. 

Looking forward to dinner in Flagstaff in 45 mins – hoping Diablo Burger, our dog-friendly restaurant, lives up to the hype. 

Hoping also they have a bar. This driving is thirsty work. 

Not much drama today – T increasingly mischievous and prone to annoying his sister in goofy (read: asshat) ways. Hoping it’s just early summer hi-jinks, since she’s increasingly prone to shrieking or hitting him in retaliation. 

You know, perfect behavior for a road trip. 

Oh, there was the moment Kingsley pulled Quinn half over a picnic table and onto the ground at a rest stop. That was fun!  He could probably pull the car if it was in neutral. Dog has a low center of gravity. And by that I mean he is fat, but surprisingly strong. 

Tomorrow = Grand Canyon!  And conference calls!!  And a long drive but end goal is New Mexico, a state I’m eager to revisit, as I haven’t been there since I was about five. Looking forward to soaking in the vibe. 

And a real hotel.
