Moving East

This is for Jen, Kari and Stan (they will understand)

The dreaded room

We left CA and moved east to Arizona. I never thought I would be back in Needles (Several members of my family had a traumatic experience there in the 80's that involved a Pontiac, Motel 6, Denny's and Annie Lennox). Give me a bottle of wine and I will tell you all about it sometime. Anyway, Mark and I spent the night in Needles.

Let's move on to something more pleasant, shall we? 

On to the Grand Canyon. I never really aspired to go see it but I must say it is one I

impressive hole in the ground. It was hard to wrap my mind around it. Pictures do not do it justice, you just have to see it for yourself.

We stopped for the night in Albuquerque, NM . It seemed like a nice enough place. The next morning we moved on to Roswell. Ah, Rosewell.

I figured why take chances

We stayed in Roswell for two nights and as far as I know I was not abducted (I'm not so sure about Mark).

We spent a day at Carlsbad Caverns. It was awesome. Pictures can't really capture it but here are some anyway cause they take up room on this blog and I'm not all that great at writing.

We got back to Celina, TX on the 14th but did not let Mark's mom know we were here until the 16th. It was her 80th birthday and we wanted to surprise her.

I will be here for a few more days and then I will drive up to Illinois for Halloween with the Oswego tribe. Mark will be flying up to join me on Nov. 10th to attend Benji's veterans day celebration at his school. We love that he wants his Poppo there. I don't really know yet what our plans are after that but as we move east toward our destination of Jacksonville I will keep you all posted!
