A-Team road trip 2015 day 3

We left El Paso after eating at Whataburger and retrieving lost swim trunks that we left at our Double Tree hotel.
We seem to be leaving lots of stuff this year.  Not sure what is going on.
Once we got on the road every one had to use the bathroom every 25 minutes.
We literally stopped at every bathroom for 100 miles after we left El Paso.
Mom and Dad were so proud of us.  Our hydration technique is clearly working.

Then,we stopped for a picnic at Catalina SP in Arizona.
Here is a little traveling tip, check the weather / temp before stopping for a picnic in Arizona.

IT WAS REALLY HOT,but…there were some really cool Saguaro Cacti that we got some pictures of.

After our scorching picnic, we took a 2 hour detour to check out an Oasis.
We found the Oasis and then found the road back was out so we had to drive another 2 hours.
Fun family time in the car.  You cannot beat good quality time with your family.
12 hours in the car in one day is great team building.

Afterward, we ate at the San Tan Brewery in Chandler, Arizona.
The food and beverage selection was awesome.
Dad needs some cold liquid after the 12 hour car ride.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Chandler, Arizona.
Thanks to the great staff at the Hampton Inn for finding my camera and my moms sleeping bag.
I was is so much trouble for leaving those items behind.
Thanks for saving me from impending doom.
Mom was going to hurt me.
