Our Summer Trip 2014 - Part III

We left Denver and headed towards Arizona.  Decided to split-up the 12 hour trip and stay a night in New Mexico.  It was just a stop, eat and sleep kinda stop.  The rest of our time was going to be spend at the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert. The drive through New Mexico was long and flat but the skies were amazing and the weather can change on a dime.

Boredom was setting in......this was the view I saw out the window and this was the view I saw in the back seat of our rental car.

We stopped for the night and found a great place to eat with the most amazing sopapillas!!  They were warm and so pillowy, they gave us honey to drizzle over them...wow they were good!

There was a nice breeze and we sat outside and enjoyed the patio.  It was nice to get out of the car.  Only 5 more hours to our destination but that was for tomorrow.
