And Four Corners Makes Eight!

Chalk it up to eight, states that is, that Mikayla has visited during the past six weeks. By 10 a.m. this morning, she added Arizona and New Mexico to her list by sitting on the Four Corners. Of course she won’t remember any of it, and not just because of her age – she slept through the whole thing!

After leaving Four Corners we headed into New Mexico where the view was almost entirely made up of arid mesas. The terrain was evidence that we’re getting closer and closer to Texas. We stopped in Farmington, NM for lunch and tested out a local burger joint. The burgers were OK, nothing special, but I loved the cheese options on the menu… "with cheese, with more cheese, with lots more cheese."

We’re now only 591 miles from Del Rio! I have to admit that I’m not nearly as anxious to arrive as I thought I would be – thank you Mikayla! We could not have wished for a better traveler. While I’m excited to finally see Del Rio, get moved into our house, and meet the community, this has been an incredible road trip and it’s great to have the three of us together.

We ended the day in Santa Fe and enjoyed a terrific visit and dinner with great friends (Steve, Cecille and Ryan) who came up from Albuquerque.  We’re still figuring out where we’re headed tomorrow, but for now that’s about it. A chill day in the southwest.
