we miss you, Arizona

We made it home Saturday night. We are becoming more efficient travelers as it only took us 30 hours this time. My goal is 25.
We are not so pleased to be in all this snow and cold and are in the process of figuring out a longer term solution to our aversion to cold weather.

random sights

It was our last day here, so we found a way to get to this crazy huge baby cutout in the middle of a field next to the freeway. It is something we have been curious about since we first saw it two winters ago. We found a dirt road by an irrigation canal that took us pretty close to it. After playing around by it and snapping lots of pictures, we drove around the area and found some buildings nearby with more fun plywood figures, including a newsboy holding a newspaper that reads, "Big Baby Frightens Freeway Travelers". Also in the area were cabbage farms and lettuce farms and a rose farm which is something I have never seen before. Ila and Mei loved the fields of roses too. Tomorrow we head north again.
