Day 20 Home

We left our hotel in Page just after 6:30am. We stopped for breakfast in Flagstaff so it was just after noon when we pulled into the driveway. We were excited to see that our pavers are finally done. The pergola still isn’t up and the fountain should be delivered next week. The only other thing left to do is the additional plantings which should be in later this week. Here are a few pics of the new landscaping.

The garbage can enclosure with pavers along the driveway. The pavers go up the other side of the driveway as well.
Love the pavers! They covered the original concrete then extended the patio 10 more feet. The patio looks gigantic!
Firepit still needs the decorative glass on top of the lava rock.
The outdoor kitchen including Peter’s pride and joy…the Ooni pizza oven.

Once we got home it took about 2 hours to unload the car, empty the suitcases and separate the gifts we bought. After that was done (and talking with the landscaper about the plantings) we headed to the Robson Ranch Grill for lunch. We have no food in the house and I have no desire to grocery shop this afternoon. The portions are large enough so the leftovers will be dinner.

Peter went out after lunch to get the car washed….it’s filthy from the dirt roads at Chaco. As I write this I’m relaxing on the couch watching Hamilton on Disney. Peter doesn’t like the music so I didn’t listen to it in the car. With him not home I can sing as loud as I want (I know all the words to My Shot….it took a full year but I finally can sing it through).

We had a great time on our first vacation in 18 months. We put 3500 miles on our car while visiting some beautiful places in the southwest and the Rockies. We went to eight National Parks, Sites and/or Monuments. We played golf at 5 beautiful courses and met some great people. The best part, of course, was experiencing it together. Even though we have a great time here in our community there’s something special about visiting new places together. We are already looking forward to our next adventure….a week in an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta the first week of November. We’ll fill you in on those adventures as they happen.

Till then, thanks for traveling with us and we look forward to talking with you soon. Stay safe….Lynn and Peter.
