New Mexico Road Trip | March 20-27

Micki and Tim departed LA and I followed them for the first leg of the journey.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

But a camera couldn’t even capture my whole heart.

On the road!
Bright and early on the road. We left at 7am… There was already traffic according to Pops.

Snow!!!

This one is for Janet!
I captured this micro seconds as we passed for my sister in law Janet because she loves bears.

Claire is helping me work at the window seat. I did most of my work that I could at this window seat.

I took a walk and found this in the garage. Very appropriate.

Look at me! I'm making a basket! #catagram
I came back to Claire at the window seat… “Look at me! I’m making a basket!”

The view outside my bedroom. At night we can hear coyotes howling and teaching their pups how to howl. #bliss #nofilter #newmexico
