Off to Southern California

Last weekend, Mrs. SFO777 and I bid a adieu to Denver and headed to our new home in Orange County, California.   Since it was Memorial Weekend and the moving van wouldn't arrive until this past Wednesday, we decided to take a three day drive thru Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Nevada before getting to California.   The packers finished late Friday afternoon, we headed  out for dinner and then to SFO777Jr's place to say good-bye and watch the Cavs finish off the Raptors.  Then to the my local go-to SPG "mattress run" hotel, the Sheraton DTC.   Pleasant suburban Sheraton with a great weekend rate of $99 including club floor.  

After breakfast, we headed back to our old Cherry Hills Village home to finish cleaning and packing up our cars before heading out on the road, a 5+ hour drive today to Moab, Utah.

A confused GPS system thinks we are off of I-70.

Some great names for towns in Colorado.

Yes, a 75 MPH speed limit!

Another great town name... Rifle.

And a pit stop at Parachute, Colorado.

Gotta love an 80 MPH speed limit! 

A little over 5 hours after we left Denver, we exited I-70 for Moab.

And our home for the night, the new and very nice Fairfield Inn and Suites Moab.   No deals here this weekend as I booked what was apparently the last room in Moab this weekend.

Nice view from our suite.

The main lobby area where breakfast is served 

For dinner, we were fortunate to discover and get a late table at an absolutely delightful local restaurant, Desert Bistro.   

Our ahi starter was spectacular.  

An amazing meal in a totally unexpected location.
