Arizona Reflections (Day 2745 - 5/31/17)

Previous Vlog (Day 2744) | Next Vlog (Day 2746)

Summary
Having finished their Arizona trip, it's time for a reflections video! But first, some important news: the McAlister's Deli King Club Sandwich (Stephen's order) came on regular bread instead of a Hawaiian Roll. On the other hand, Mallory had the Black Cherry, Chicken and Gorgonzola Salad with Candied Pecans, which will probably stay in her memory for many years to come.

Moving on to the topic of the vlog, Stephen has created a list of what they did during each day of their trip in an attempt to make their video more concise. They are once again aided by their blue kitchen wall which acts like a blue screen, allowing footage from previous vlogs to play behind them in the background.

Anyway, onto the reflection! Some things Stephen and Mallory talk about in this vlog are: After their Arizona reflection, they share their future travel plans. Next year, they plan to do an East Coast road trip to see New York, DC, and other East Coast states. But for the near future, they have a trip to Wisconsin coming up in July to see the rest of Mallory's family.
