Yuma

It's one of those days we've decided to go for a road trip. We've had our eyes set out to Arizona and made plans a week ahead. We wanted to go further than Yuma, but the next best and closest place is Sonoma which is five hours away on a straight drive. But with Anna in her queasy first trimester on a long drive plus the heatwave, is probably not a good idea. So I scratched Sonoma.


Trips such as this should be well planned and organized. That's according to my wife. Not me. I'd rather have everyone hop in and just go for the long ride. About to venture the unknown. On the contrary, Anna hates it whenever I'm in the mood for this sort of spontaneity. But we still go, nonetheless.


Anyways, what's there to see in Yuma? There's the occasional small towns with narrow roads. On the way was nothing really interesting. Some greens but really, hardly any vegetation. Occasional mountain ranges and a LOT of barren desert wasteland on the outskirts of the city.


So why go there? Because, it's Arizona. Another state. Closest to San Diego. Why not?
