    Well, I've been following the Grainger Smith UA-cam videos of his and his wife's trip to Israel touring the Holy Land. I've felt like I was right there with them. And now...I'm taking a trip with y'all out west and I feel like I'm right there with you. So fun! Thanks for taking me along! The farthest west I've been - in real life - is Branson, Missouri.

    May I suggest, joining your local library, once you do, you can check out audiobooks. Most times all on line, not even going to the library to check them out or return them! The world is the limit of your selections! AND. It's All free! ❤❤

    What a wonderful adventure for your family. Memories for life. Our family traveled by car to nearly every continental state sometimes it was camping, or hotels or staying with family.

    Loved traveling along. The first time I went to 4 corners it was the metal plate in the ground surrounded by Navajo Indian booths (wood and canvas) with rickety tables selling their wares. I have a vase here in my living room that I purchased there. Also was a little blue and white bubble camping trailer with a Navajo lady Navajo fry tacos. She fried them up inside (I can't imagine the temp as this was in August) and then assembled them on a paper plate on a table outside. I think they were a dollar each. One of the best I have had however! It's changed so much now, I wouldn't recognize it. I think the dryness of the desert helps to preserve those old homesteads and structures. Here in the Midwest, they would mold, rot and fall down in a relatively short time...not to mention the hard winter effects of snow. Thanks again for sharing!!!

    Enjoying the scenery from the cornfields of Indiana! The kids are such good little passengers! I went to the Albuquerque ballon festival in the late 90's and it was absolutely amazing!! I was like a little kid oohing and aahing at the spectacle. My first time eating at In & Out was in 2016 and I was hooked! I bet we ate there twice a day the entire time visiting California! Enjoy!!

    1:16 That phone caddy on your dash looks like the site on a rifle... Aim true, folks. When I was driving through the same general area (leaving Az.) with my wife and kid I was driving a brand-new Ford Maverick (one of the first off, the line) ... yeah, that long ago. I had to stop several times on one of the road rises (a relatively low-rise ratio) because that little car had to cool down. But we got to see some marvelous country on that trip before I had to report at Ft. Ord.

That Four Corners was neet can you imagine taking your kids for a drive and leaving one in all different states. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

    This sustenance stop brings back great memories for me, my now ex-hubby and our three kids, about the age your kids are now, did a lot of road trips around Australia, so much fun, we always stopped for food prep at the back of the car. We had to choose the food carefully, as no fruit, vegetables and honey, was allowed across the borders, still not allowed. Great memories. My kids are now all grown up, 2 are in their 50’s and the youngest in her late 40’s. We still laugh about all the mishaps and madness on the road, the great car games, like make up words from car rego numbers we passed on the road. I spy with my eye …. And also without gps and just large paper maps! The kids would keep turning the map round and round to try and find the right route! Lots of weird stuff about haunted accommodation. 😂🤣😂🤣 Your kids will be doing the same in years to come. Remembering road trips. Best way to travel. I was the camera person and have it all documented. Cheers. 👍 🇦🇺

    On my first road trip out west from Ohio, we drove into Texas around 1 am while my wife was sleeping. Suddenly, I saw tiny red lights popping up on the horizon, and they kept increasing in number. At first, I couldn't figure out what they were. However, as I got closer, I realized that they were the wind turbines!
