Arizona

My wonderful Grandfather, Walter Elijah Clifford passed away March 28th, 2010.

He was my only living grandparent. He left a wonderful legacy of service and love.

We miss you Grandpa!

Jacob and I packed up and headed to Safford Arizona for the funeral. Jacob and I love road trips...and it was a lot of fun! My mom rode with us, and we followed my dad and 2 brothers in another car. When we got there we were stir crazy and hungry, so we headed to a small local Mexican restaurant Casa for some dinner. After running into several relatives we have not seen in years (its a small town - only 2 hotels, so its pretty easy to run into people) we made it back to the hotel for some sleep.

I think Jacob was sleep deprived all weekend, but with a 12/13 hour drive home, I hoped he would make up for it...and besides, we were having too much fun!

The next morning Jacob had his first Denny's breakfast: a pancake "bigger than my whole head!" We ran into more relatives there and had a great time talking.

We had some time, so we went back to the hotel for some swimming! Uncle Joseph was a ton of fun! It was freezing back home, so it was so nice to be in the sunshine and cool water!

Jacob loved seeing the palm trees. He thought we were in Florida for the first few hours. :)
