We made it to Albuquerque!

Wow, first day of traveling is almost complete. I have been pleasantly surprised at how nice this trip has been so far. We haven’t had very many arguments and we’ve had lots of laughter. We have felt all the prayers for the car. It has been running smoothly (so far). 

We drove by a LOT of cotton fields.  Of course that brought up Farmville on Facebook and how we have been growing cotton there too.  haha 

We arrived in Albuquerque @ 5 PM. The kids were really excited that we got to stay in a “pueblo”. It turned out to be a really nice hotel.

Our room even has a balcony!

It was still a bit early, so we decided to drive up the mountain (which is really close to our hotel). While driving up, we saw a Deseret Book Store. That got us to thinking about the temple. I called Dana to see if she would Google the address, but she was not home. While in the middle of calling Mother, Mike spotted the angle Moroni. What a cool thing. Heavenly Father has sure been with us this trip. We walked around and got some pictures. It was really beautiful.

Then we went up the mountain to the “World’s Longest Tram”. We walked around for a bit and got to see a beautiful view of the city. I can’t remember the name of it right now, I left the booklet in the van.  :}

Finally we decided it was best to come back to the hotel and google a pizza place. Yeah for pizza! On to Flagstaff tomorrow so we can see the Grand Canyon.  We are all looking forward to getting to Nana and Papa's house Monday and seeing everyone we haven't seen in WAY too long!  We have been very blessed with this trip.  :)
