Day 6 & 7: Winslow, AZ to Phoenix

WOAH. We finally made it! We did have a few stops before we actually hit LA. On Tuesday morning we went to the corner in Winslow, if you don't know what that refers to, check out this YouTube clip.
I had a nice couple take a picture of us, one of the few of the two of us in that same picture, unfortunately. The city of Winslow is literally, the La Posada hotel, this corner, the snow cone booth and a daunting correctional facility that we passed. It's pretty desolate.

The road we took to Phoenix was basically a one lane highway with ZERO rest areas. We passed through a town called Stawberry and there were signs for the oldest standing school house in AZ, so we stopped.

It was very cute... but thats all it was. We needed to stop since there was no rest areas and we passed this honey stand in Pines, which was right after Strawberry. It was the cutest honey stand ever and we bought some orange blossom honey, which is kind of random but the flavor is great.

After we finally got to where Charlsie's family lives we nommed a delicious dinner at Olive Garden and then finished the night with some intense Wii bowling/ golf. Has anyone played the 100 pins game? Insanity.

We had such a fun time and crashed early so we could get up and hit the road to LA, but not before some of my uncle's pancakes. My little cousin B calls him Poppy so now the world famous pancakes will now be referred to as "Poppy's Pancakes" and they were such a great way to start the day!
Big shout out to my gracious family and my hilarious little cuz who had us cracking up all night! Well we need to get to bed early tonight so we can apartment/car hunt tomorrow. More to come!
