After we left the Grand Canyon we made our way to Four Corners. I mean, when you're that close you have to stop, right? How many times can you say you've been in four states at once? And how often can your entire family each be in a different state without DCFS coming and arresting you? hehe...
Actually, it was kind of a weird place. All those buildings behind us are little vendors. They had a little bit of food, but none of it seemed appealing. We thought there'd be restaurants around so we timed it to hit the Four Corners at lunch time, but instead had to drive another hour or so to the next nearest city (which had a Wendy's and Wendy's is awesome b/c we missed having a Frosty in Korea).
So here's the obligatory picture, a keep in mind we had just been camping for 2 days with no showers, hence the bandana for me, but that doesn't explain Dan's scruffiness. He just boycotted shaving while he was on leave for 30 days and decided to fashion himself with chops. ::grumble::
And that is what we did while waiting for our house to close! We had to get back to Colorado to attend a UFC event that I bought Dan tickets for for Father's Day, and also to sign him out on permissive TDY and to get Cade registered for school. Sooooo we still had another 10 days in a hotel (if you can call it that), and it was torturous. August 20th couldn't come fast enough. We moved out of our apartment in Korea on July 5th and finally had a home 45 days later.
I remember when I was a kid, it was just this small square slab of cement with nothing around except a few vendors selling stuff out of the backs of their trucks....and it was free (dumb parks and forest rangers charging for EVERYTHING these days, sheesh!)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the middle of the world in Ecuador where you can stand on either side of the equator. Cool to say that you have been there but that's about it :)
