On the highway headed to Flagstaff, Isaac spotted a shiny, cool looking car. "That's the car from Back to the Future!". I explained the little I knew about it, e.g. how the stainless steel resisted rust (Probably a moot point in Arizona), and how the designer was later charged with drug charges.
We got off the highway in Flagstaff, found our hotel, and unwound. We hunted out this great resteraunt, the Pita Jungle. Delicious gyros and hummus! And the temperatures were finally cool enough for outdoor dining.
After dinner we sought out a highly ranked frozen custard shop near our hotel. And to our surprise... we see the very same DeLorean parked outside for their 'old car night'!! We told the owner how we spotted him earlier in the day on the highway. He answered every possible question we had about the car, and gave us some great stories about the developer, and its role in the movie.
The rest of the night included different fsmily members swimming in the hotel pool, running on their treadmill or reading up on the day's sites.
I love all your posts! I feel like I'm there! Thanks for sharing!
