Life On The High Way
The Travels and Adventures of the High Family
Days 40 & 41: Williams, AZ
Day 40
Man, oh man, did 5:45 am come early today! The kids rolled out of bed and hopped right on their Zoom calls. At about 6 am I decided we probably weren’t going to be making those early Zoom calls the rest of the week. At about 10 am I was ready for a nap since I had been up since about 4! I had plans to go out and do something with that kids after school today, but the kids just wanted to play at the playground. The park we are at has a little (very little) mini golf area and we putted around there for a while. Jordan said the kids were going to bed at 6 pm so we ate early and all went to bed early. Time changes, even one hour, can be hard!
Day 41
This day was similar to yesterday except that I did laundry and Jordan took the kids to Dairy Queen. We are really living it up here in Williams, aren’t we? We also spent a good portion of the day figuring out how to get home. Driving to Texas is one thing and then figuring out how to get across Texas is another! We have the route finally planned for our drive home.
I’m personally having a hard time staying present on our trip. Now that we are 11 days from being home I find myself thinking about the things that need to be done there: getting the kids uniforms for school, making sure their Halloween costumes arrive, figuring out what we might do for Lucy’s birthday, planning for the holidays. Always thinking about what’s next isn’t a great trait of mine. I’m hoping that, at least, this weekend I can set aside my mental “to-do” list and enjoy our last bit of adventure.
Until next time…

Life On The High Way 
Dave and I have done quite a few of what we call “Walk Abouts”–where we have no plan before or after a planned destination (class reunion, family visit, etc), and just take a couple of weeks to wander around the country before heading home. Usually do 2000+ miles on an average Walk About. And we always find that once we decide to head home, it stops becoming a vacation and our minds fill with what is awaiting us. So, you are not unusual there! You are SOOOO right in that getting TO Texas is not a problem! You can get then in a flash compared to how long it takes to ‘navigate’ Texas. Most people don’t understand that. Have fun! I’m so enjoying going on your adventure with you.
