Road trip to Albuquerque...

How in the world do you keep 3 boys entertained on a 10 hour road trip?  
The boys did pretty well on our long trip.  Sometimes we were pulling our hair out, but overall everyone did very well. 
If I just couldn't entertain Porter anymore....licorice sure worked!
On the way there we stopped at a hotel with an indoor pool!
We haven't been to ABQ since Miles was 18 months old.  My dad and step mom are so good about coming to see us, but we decided to make the trek this year and we are so glad we did.  The boys had so much fun.  They didn't want to come home!

We went to see an outside light display.  The dinosaur was our favorite!
Our camera man Miles taking pictures with his new REAL digital camera!

The boys finally had their first sopapillas!  They loved them!  Quincy had an issue with a painting hanging in the restaurant...he wouldn't look at the camera because he was "watching" the picture.  (the painting is in the background of the second pic) 
Miles even licked his plate clean..."Look mom, now they don't have to wash it."



We walked around Old Town.  The Native Americans sell their jewelry along the sidewalk and there are lots of fun shops.  We got to spend time with my brother, Uncle J too.  

Porter loved being with Grandpa and Grandma Hansen...and playing with the magazines....and the russian eggs...


The boys LOVED (okay so did I) the big jacuzzi bathtub that Grandpa and Grandma have.


And of course, no trip to ABQ would be complete without MANY trips to Dion's to eat!  
Thanks Allen for putting up with the MANY meals you were forced to eat there!
We had such a great trip!  Thank you Dad and Rog for making the trip so wonderful!  Grandpa took the boys on 2 hour walks almost every day.  They played basketball in the backyard a lot too.  We can't wait to see you all again......but maybe at our house next time okay? 
oh yeah....and bring me some Dion's!!!
