Spring break

We have been having a wonderful time.

Mark and Adam are great travel companions.  Adam has taken on most of the driving and entertaining.  He created the game M&M roulette.  Will you get the jalapeño?  

I surveyed his offerings and said, “No peanut?”  (Because those are the best.).

Adam said, “I didn’t want to be excessive.”

Mark has been the keeper of snacks and the valet driver (he goes to park at every hotel) and he keeps me laughing.

At the Grand Canyon, on top of a lookout tower, he said, “You can see Utah from here!”

You could also see this:

Believe the hype about the Grand Canyon.  It's pretty grand.

So are these two:

I love deserts.

We stayed in Flagstaff that night and the next morning drove to Santa Fe.

I talked to Olivia that morning from Flagstaff and she asked, "Is that on the way to Oklahoma?!?"

I said, "Everything is on the way to Oklahoma if you try hard enough."

We stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park.

We didn't take much time to explore it but were fascinated by an old inn that was built by the CCC.

In Gallup, NM, we saw a store called First American Trader.

Mark said, slightly disgusted, "The first American traitor was Benedict Arnold."

Pretty much from the time we hit New Mexico, we were in a snowstorm.  It snowed all the way to Santa Fe and we happily tucked into our warm hotel room, awaiting new adventures.
