Day Five

Day Five has arrived.  In the morning we were greeted by balloonist sailing by the house.  Three in total.  I can't even imagine how beautiful it would be to sail above those tall red mountains.  So after a warm goodbye from everyone we hit the road a little before schedule which was great.

We happened upon a huge meteor crater out in the middle of the desert.  This was the same crater in the movie "Starman" with Jeff Bridges.  Anyway it was gorgeous and Mason enjoyed it.  We went through the museum and talked about meteors and how they fall to the earth.  Everything was very hands on which I know Mason loved.

Next we stopped off at a dinosaur park but unfortunately is was closed so we had to make do with this dinosaur outside the rest stop.  Mason was afraid to touch it at first but he warmed up.  But that was the only thing that warmed up, the weather stayed cold for the whole journey today.  Brrr.

So now we are in Albuquerque, New Mexico and after a good meal at IHOP we are just awaiting the arrival of Brandon, who I have just been told is delayed in Denver for another hour.

Tomorrow the road is not so planned out.  My original plan was to make it to Oklahoma City for another night in a hotel but who know if we can make better time with an extra driver in the car.  One thing I am sure of is that the adventure is far from over.
