On the Road

Well, we left Cleveland around 9:00 a.m. -- a tad later than we originally planned. We woke at 6:00 with the goal of being gone by 8:00. Lindsey, unfortunately, didn't feel well and we were delayed.

Anyway, we drove the first day to Sullivan, Missouri, which is west of St. Louis, getting out of the car around 7:00 p.m. EDT. The next day, we drove to Plainview, Texas. We didn't make it to Carlsbad Caverns as we decided that it was way to far south and we had a reservation and plans to meet friends in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We traveled from Plainview to Rio Rancho, NM, stopping a couple of times for fun stuff like Blizzards from Dairy Queen and we did some shopping in Santa Fe.

Today we spent we our friends. It was great. They have a 3 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. Actually, the kids won't be 3 and 2 until next month. They are 12 months and 10 days separate from each other. The oldest one is getting molars and isn't the happiest camper around. Nevertheless, we did have a great time.

We won't be going to Taos. It is a tad out of the way from our trip tomorrow where we will be heading west and north to the Grand Canyon. We will be camping at the Grand Canyon for the next two evening,

The two evenings after that we will be camping in Cedar City, Utah (by Bryce and Zion National Parks -- very awe inspiring -- makes you realize the wonders of God!).

The following evening we will be staying in Las Vegas . . . where I am sure God isn't often mentioned . . . but we have an acquitance there who got us a great rate at one of the hottest casinos. We don't gamble and I told her all we needed was someplace to lay our heads, fill our bellies and maybe swim.

After that we start heading toward California.

Anyway, it may be awhile until you hear from me again.

Be safe!
