Day Two!

Day two of the Road Trip!  We left Cortez and headed up into the mountains, stopping every hour so that Eliza could get out and run off a little excess energy.

Run Eliza and you're not allowed to stop until you're laughing!!

Eva, the nature-girl, loves everything she sees. Eliza said, 'Jim and Joanne live in a beautiful place'!
As we were driving through heavy forest, we were playing I-Spy and it was Eliza's turn. She said, "I spy my little eye something beginning with Wwwwww!  (the 'w' sound rather than letter 'w').  We guessed 'window' 'wipers' etc. and finally gave up.  Eliza said, 'WAIN-fowest!

Day One - Camp Sweetie-pie 2013

I know - I'm a few days behind. There isn't much time left at the end of the day for blogging when one is chasing a four year old!

You can't drive past Four Corners without getting a photo of the kids standing on the four corners of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Eliza managed to sit on all four states at once.

The first part of the road trip went pretty smoothly, even though Eliza is only four. She had a few brief melt-downs but they didn't last for long. We spent the first night on the road at a motel in southern Colorado. I checked Trip-Advisor and found one with both a pool and free wi-fi. But as with the best laid plans of mice and men, the wi-fi wasn't available.  Oh well, the pool was fabulous; clean and as warm as a bath, and the wi-fi was working by the next morning.

It's not easy to raise and lower the Camp S'pie flag when you're on a road trip, but we ceremoniously raised it before leaving the kid's house in Arizona, then rolled it up and put it in the trunk....then lowered it that night in the Colorado motel room.  

All is well at the end of Day One - Camp Sweetie-pie 2013!
