See you in the fall

Long easy drive from New Mexico to Arizona
Enjoying the pink cliffs east of Gallup
Reveling in the Welcome to Arizona sign

Just a few days here before heading out
One last meal at my favorite Thai place
Getting the laundry done, that final dental appointment

Next is California and then the northern route
Trying to make it through the heat before
I go for the colder states where the Dolphin won't overheat

Looking forward to enjoying the states and sights I'll see
But knowing I'll be so excited to return to Arizona
Not wishing away the time, but September will be glorious
