After 21 hours total travel time from Brisbane to Phoenix, we thought we were doing pretty well on the jet-lag front. We even had a swim in the hotel pool to soak in those bodyclock resetting rays before heading out to a local restaurant.
When Indy and Dash both fell asleep within minutes of sitting in our booth, the waitress thought it was adorable. She only called over the other wait staff when Indy, still unconscious, started groping at his plate and feeding himself fries.Picking up the RV the next day went without a hitch and on our maiden trip to Walmart, we filled two trolleys twice over (with a few other shops since).
After provisioning up, our second night in Bessie was on the road north and by Day 3 we were exploring the red rock monoliths of Sedona.
Taking in the vista from the cultural centre precinct over lunch that day, Indy and Dash started checking out a group of mountain bikers who were getting pointers from an instructor prior to beginning their ride.
Indy, ever keen to get in amongst the action, begged us to pull out his new bicycle, complete with its training wheels. What better way to test out his first bike, for the first time, than with a seasoned mountain biking professional and several keen mountain biking enthusiasts looking on. Clearly looking to them for feedback, Indy was rewarded when the instructor stopped the class, shouting "Hey, sweet ride dude!"The smile on his face was sweet indeed!
