Road Trip ~ Joshua Tree to Santa Fe #4
Beyond the Sites
The drive on I-10 from Joshua Tree to Phoenix is somewhat of a letdown after our glorious desert excursion. Being on a four-lane highway driving 70mph+ with all the other transients on the road just isn't the same as the quiet, scenic tour-de-Joshua Tree. But Phoenix has an attraction that compels me to go.
I have been to Arizona so many times that it's no longer about exploring the sites, discovering new restaurants, shopping for treasures and all the other usual touristy things. I go now to engage in comfortable conversations that picked up where we left off, dine in familiar restaurants eating my favorite meals, stroll through certain neighborhoods to see who has made changes, and just generally enjoy the company of family and friends.
Sometimes trips aren't just about what we can see or experience. Sometimes they are about stoking the fires of love with people who matter in our lives.
