When planning this road trip, google maps directed me down interstate 10, but I felt more comfortable spending the first 2 days moving from our home in California to our home afloat on the more familiar I-40.  Since sometime around 1994 we’ve been making yearly trips down I-40 then north out of Flagstaff to visit Beth’s cabin in Colorado.  One year we went on a Thanksgiving road trip with the Hill family that took us along the 40 as well.  Over the years we visited Meteor Crater in Arizona, cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon, Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Petrified Forest NP, Canyon De Chelly cliff dwellings.  We also had a memorable Christmas last winter.  Eric spent the month of December moving Azure II with Rodney Pimentel to Grenada where he bought the boat and it became Makai.  The plan was to pick Eric up in Albuquerque on Dec 24 then continue to Colorado the next day.  However, early in the day we found that his flight was delayed and wouldn’t arrive until the next day.  So, the kids, Topaz and I spent Christmas eve in Gallup, NM.  When they complained I reminded them that they had running water and cable TV, Jesus spent his first night in a stable.

Luckily our road trip so far has been uneventful.  We had been saying good-bye to our pals and packing the van all week.  Thursday night poor Marie had the throwing up sickness and a fever and Roy was burdened with sinus issues from a cold. Friday was emotional and stressful. We sent Eric and Brian off at 4am with Beth to LAX, then after sleeping a few more hours did chores until Krista took us off to the movies.  The last hour before we left everyone was running through the house stuffing things in the van they didn’t think they could live without.  I don’t even know whats in the van at this point.  Krista made us lunch and helped me gather up the last kid stuff out of the bottom of the closet to donate, my neighbor Bev took care of Topaz, Yvette drove by for a last hug, and then we just put it in gear and left.  I felt like life had been frantic and we just had to cut loose.

We only went about 1/2 a mile down the road before I had to pull over and help Marie find her seat belt, it was buried under a mound of bags and blankets.  Part of the tower had already fallen over onto Topaz and everyone had stuff piled on their laps.  When things were straightened out we got on the road.  The crazy traffic turned into a climb over Cajon opening up into the desert. We listened to Magic Tree House books on cd and then Roy was introduced to James Herriot the Country Vet, he was intrigued by the graphic descriptions .

By 10:30 pm we were in our beds in Kingman, AZ.  The next morning I repacked all the loose debris in the van, we had breakfast and got back on the road. We listened to Brooklyn Bridge by Karen Hesse, audio books are great for road trips.  Besides lunch at Sonic and Dinner at the Golden Corral, there wasn’t much excitement.  We still can’t get the new TV system Eric installed last summer working, but soon we’ll have new views to entertain us.  Starting tomorrow we’ll be driving in ‘new territory’. We’re in Albuquerque tonight.  The hotel has a nice indoor pool and hot tub.  Tomorrow we’ll stop at Tinkertown and the Cadillac ranch on the way to Wichita Falls, TX.  Maybe I’ll get better pictures.
