Vacation: Day 14 (August 16)

Everybody's exhausted and cranky, and we have a trunk full of dirty laundry. So we check out of the motel and find a laundromat. After fluffing and folding are complete, we look for lunch. Tempers flare, as now we're exhausted, cranky and starving. Emma and I end up eating at lunch at Wendy's while Kristi walks to a nearby Taco Bell to get some personal space.

Things look better with food digesting. We hit the road, and after several freeways I've never driven before (the Riverside, Orange and Pomona, I think), we're onto I-15 and on our way. We stop in Las Vegas, hoping to find a really good Thai restaurant we went to the last time we were there, but we've lost it. Fortunately, we trip over Kung Fu Plaza, a Thai/Chinese restaurant just a few blocks off I-15, and are more than satisfied with our dinner there.

We end the day in St. George, Utah. Distance covered: about 380 miles -- not bad considering we're so tired and didn't get started until after lunch.
