Turquoise Trail
Beautiful Landscape of Santa Fe Hi everyone!! Today we left for our summer vacation. The day was full of wonderful surprises. 😊 Some good and some not so good. We started out at 430 am and by 5 am I was remembering all the stuff I forgot to pack. Oh well. Devin and Trevor slept most of the morning. Actually Trevor slept until Amarillo. Amarillo is not really what I expected. It was a lot bigger than I thought it was. The strange thing is that there is ran down, condemned property mixed in with these big beautiful houses. The condemned houses were literally boarded up and next to that house would be a $150,000 house. Then we drove though Wildorado, Texas...not a good thing. There is this cow ranch right next to the road for about 2 miles and the stench was unbearable. Trevor and I were gagging. We both had to hold our noses forever. We stopped at the visitor's center in GlenRio, NM and the people there were so nice. They allowed us to bring our cooler in and fix our lunch in their breakroom. We let Devin have some chocolate which proved not to be a good thing. We took the turquoise
trail into Santa Fe which is beautiful and very curvy and Dave tends to not drive slow. So right when we got to Santa Fe Devin got really sick and threw up in the explorer. Not really how you want to start your trip, but he is feeling better. He ate dinner is now running around the hotel room full of energy. Santa Fe is a beautiful and charming city and the landscape is breathtaking. We tried to get into a few local restaurants but the wait was too much and Devin was acting up so much that we ate at Long John Silver's and then went to WalMart. We are going to the National Cemetary tomorrow and will get to explore more of the town. Then we are off to the Grand Canyon.
