Still driving - Leaving Lehi, Utah, USA

The following day, Tuesday, January 8th, we left Lehi, Utah at about 8am and drove all the way to San Diego, California. Our speedometer read 176717 when we filled up that day in Scipio, Utah. Driving on Tuesday was fun because we drove through Nevada and the roads were narrow, twisty, lots of turns, thus exiting. It was a lot slower to drive but much fun. We also drove through Las Vegas and thought about stopping in and maybe staying for the night but we decided to drive onwards to San Diego. We took a few pictures, stopped in to eat at Primms Valley Resort and Casino Cafe (http://www.lasvegas.net/las-vegas-hotels-Primm-Valley-resort-and-casino.htm ) and had a prime rib dinner for only US$7.99 + tax. It was delish!! We drove almost 12 hours on Tuesday and made it to San Diego, California - our planned destination before entering the Mexican Border into Tijuana, Baha California. We settled for Motel 6, at Hotel Circle. The location was awesome since it was a few minutes’ drive to the inner city, to most beaches and attractions, but it was a bit overpriced, did not offer anything extra, even wireless Internet was at an extra cost. But we had to stop for the night and planned on staying in San Diego the following day so we hoped to find a better hotel rate the next day. While we stepped out for a bit that night, we found Vagabond Inn, another motel located within the Hotel Circle area.
