Friday July 16, 2010 - Flagstaff, Arizona to Bernalillo, New Mexico

We got out of Flagstaff around 10am, and it was already close to 90 degrees. The smell of hot pine needles is one I remember well from my many trips to the area during college, leading camping trips for the student ministry. It's amazing how much the town has changed in a short 20 years.

The drive to New Mexico was pleasantly uneventful. The "Maintenance Required" light has come on in the van, but I suspect it's simply reminding me tochange the oil. Since the last oil change was probably about 8000 miles ago, I can't blame it. We'll take care of it in Phoenix once we're there. We arrived in Bernalillo about 4pm - except that we had forgotten about losing an hour in travel, so it was really 5pm. We didn't realize this though until much later that night, which meant the kids ended up going to bed an hour earlier! It only seemed to phase Alec, who took a long time to fall asleep.

We enjoyed spaghetti with bread & salad for dinner - the kids were in heaven!
