Monday morning we all left New Mexico! Grandma Lizzy, Mom, Simon & Anson got in the car & drove to Albuquerque where we caught our first airplane. Daddy & Grandpa & Tia left just an hour or two later after giving the house a good final cleaning in their big yellow truck. They stopped in Albuquerque and picked up our car from short-term parking on their way, and headed as far NE as they could that day.
We decided later that even though it was a little hectic with the two kids, we had the easier trip. We drove through the Black Range mountains one last time...and Simon got a little carsick with all the winding around. As soon as we hit the straight highway he was great though. We stopped once for diaper changes & bought some ice cream sandwiches. We had packed lunches and several snacks to get us through, and that worked great.

Simon showing off his "zoomy cars" from Grandma Lizzy. Some of his gifts for being a good traveler. You might even be able to see the dog stickers on the window. We sang many many choruses of "How Much is That Doggy in the Window - Arf Arf!" on the 4 hour drive!
Simon was SO excited to see all the airplanes at the airport.
Driving mom's car for a minute while we unloaded the suitcases
Watching the zoomy planes from the airport window. He kept telling us he wanted to ride on the blue one, but it was a different airline. Maybe next time, kiddo!
