What's the proper way of indicating that a car has reached its destination during a dialogue? For example, two persons have a conversation, and they reach a destination, is there a standard way to do this?

For example:

> ...
> 
> "I am not sure if we should really talk about this, because you know, it's a real pain in the ass to talk about personal issues, you know."
> 
> "Yeah, it might be true. Let's not talk about this anymore" he said as he looked out the window of the car and saw the headquarter rapidly approaching. "We've reached our destination."
> 
> "Already?"
> 
> "It has been an hour."
> 
> "Jeez, time can fly."

I am not sure why, but revealing it in the dialog tag sounds really weird, is there a better way to do this properly?
