Santa Fe

Ahhhhh.  Just finished my morning cup of tea sitting outside under crystal clear blue skies and temps in the mid-fifties.  But the sun soon starts to warm things up.  We had a good day of travel yesterday with a little wind to fight.  The worst part was US 84 from Lubbock to here - not a lot of money put into that road.  Jade said she kept waiting for the tires on the car to pop!

Had a drenching thunderstorm in Lubbock overnight that turned the campground into a swimming pool but is sure made for some fresh air.  I saw a robin too which is so weird. It's only a little less than 400 miles or so north of San Antonio and we don't get any robins.  There must be some magical longitude that they don't go below.

(north) of Santa Fe.

The night before the girls and I had a rousing game of UNO!  I haven't played that in a long time and forgot how crazy making it is when you don't draw the right card and end of with a boatload in your hand!  Mya and I were laughing so hard I was crying.  Haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  Fun!

We are in a low-key RV part just outside of Santa Fe.  This high desert is lovely and cool. And very little humidity. Got to sleep with the windows open - such a treat these days.

It's 5 o'clock and time to relax.  Thunderstorms skirted past us
but we stayed dry.  

Today is another travel day.  We are headed to Cortez, Colorado (I thought we were still in NM - oops!) Just sitting here with Jeff trying to decide our route.  Probably ought to find out what's up with the fire in Durango since we go right by there on the shortest route.  I'm looking forward to staying in one spot for a few days.  We plan to visit Mesa Verde and Zion National Parks while we are there.

Time to pack 'em up and move' em out.  Nine a.m. seems to be the standard leaving time.  Have about 280+ miles to go today.  Hope the roads are a little smoother.  Oh, and Happy Birthday Mom!  See you soon!!!
