Making it from SJ to Prescott in one day sounded a little stressful, so we broke it up into two. It was nice cruising through the farmland and ranches. There was one traffic backup along one of the state routes that was clearly from nothing but people slowing to admire the baby goats at the farm by the side of the road. It was dark and the traffic was heavy once we were headed up the grapevine on I5. We spent the night near Ontario.
We woke up in SoCal a little late, had some breakfast downtown, and really starting to lean towards fashionably late for getting to Xmas eve in Prescott. Then I remembered the time change for AZ, losing us another hour. We were already late!
We drove the car as fast as it had gone in at least a decade, and just kept on going. We got there about 40 minutes late, and my grandmother was tired and needed to leave not long after we arrived. We just made it. This turned out to be even more important than we realized at the time, because it was her last Christmas.
After Xmas eve in Prescott we headed down the hill to Chelsea and Travis' place for second Xmas.
