The Best Western is hosting us tonight in Gallup, New Mexico. We stopped at our customary Comfort Inn, but were thwarted by the out of commission pool.
The drive out here today from Flagstaff was an interesting one. It started with our attempt to visit Slide Rock, then continued up I-17 to I-40. We took a bit of a detour to visit Petrified Forest National Park,
but as we drove down the road we were heading straight for a thunder storm. Our entire visit to this park was peppered with episodes of rain, heavy rain, and thunder and lightning. Very exciting, but also limiting for getting out of the car. We did manage to get out a couple of times, and did I mention the wind? The wind was very strong throughout our driving day today.
At the end of the park, we hit the Visitor’s Center
where the kids were able to do another workbook and earn another badge.
