We left the Grand Canyon on Sunday and headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico!
There was not much to see along I-40 for our trip, so an Osprey flying above the highway caught our attention.
The girls were AMAZING the entire 7+ days on the road, and kept busy watching movies, playing their iPads, rock-paper-scissors, naps and more! They NEVER once asked "are we there yet"!! I think I was more antsy than they were.
You know you are entering the South when you see giant crosses off the highway.
Also when you enter the world of "speed limit minimums"!
We stopped for the night at Kirtland Air Force Base. They offer "Temporary Lodging Facilities" for families traveling or requiring lodging in something more facilitating than a hotel room.
This unit had a full kitchen, washer dryer, and dining room plus two bedrooms!
We made a simple home cooked meal and relaxed in the COLD weather.
The kids fit in some jumping jacks to burn off energy.
It was hard to entertain them to burn off energy as it was 30 degrees outside for the entire trip.
Winter cross-countries leave a lot to be desired!
Outside of the Grand Canyon we saw a "Flinstone RV Park"!
All the buildings were replicas from the TV show.
Views of the country!!
