Mesa Redux

On Monday afternoon, we returned to Mesa for a couple of more days. Grandmother had delicious beef stew waiting for us. Tuesday we saw The Fifth Estate, which has not had good reviews, but we liked it because it helped us understand the whole Wikileaks thing. We made Costco and Target runs in the afternoon and met the Boyntons for dinner at Rositas. It was good, but no cigar. Wednesday we made yet another Target run and then had lunch at Tia Rosa's: they get the cigar. Thursday early, we headed north to Utah. The scenery along the way never fails to amaze. We stopped for lunch at the Jacob Lake Inn and were home by evening.

This was a fun trip! Thanks to Grandmother and Maren and Gavin for the hospitality. That's all for now.

Is Grandmother in Utah with you? Do I need to go reread?
