It was only fitting that after the Eagles won the NFC Championship, we would find a way to get to the SuperBowl. My initial thought: Are we really bringing our one year old along for the ride? Seems risky, but let’s go for it. Since actually entering the game was out of the question, we found the most feasible and fun way to accomplish this trip. We rented an RV!
My husband owned an RV previously, so the thought of traveling around this way excited me. We set the expectations low since again, we were traveling with a one year old who still drank 4 bottles a day and demanded a nap. But what could go wrong?
Our first night we drove right to Glendale, AZ from Las Vegas to sleep before the big day; Super Bowl. We snuggled into a spot on someones ranch and went right to sleep. I used the app KOA to book our stays!
First thing in the morning, we made our way to the stadium and found the perfect spot to watch the game – PopStroke. The perfect spot for the three of us to sit comfortably outdoor in the shade, watching the game, with a playground and mini golf course attached. Honestly could not believe we stumbled across this restaurant bar accidentally.
Places we saw during our three days
- Cathedral Rock, Sedona
- Chapel of the Holy Cross
- Red Rock State Park
- Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village
- Grand Canyon (but husbanad made a wrong turn and we were in a snow storm almost falling off cliff, we did not accomplish)
- Hoover Dam
With an unexpected snow storm, a bad wrong turn and a painful loss for the Eagles, this trip still managed to be beautiful and unforgettable.
I went into this trip with low expectations, but wow did our one one year old surprise us. She was calm, curious and smiled the whole time.
With my child beside me, I’ve seen places through brand new eyes. So here is your reminder: don’t stop.
Take the trip. Pack lots of snacks. Life can still be wild and spontaneous, just now with a baby on your hip.
