Ok. So mom and dad decided that it would be loads of fun to drive the nine hours to Albuquerque and visit Holly. Brooke and Maryn quickly joined in on the fun. We started off at the butt crack of dawn and the first memory I, Brooke, can recall is mom's overly enthusiastic response to the energy generated windmills. Where were they you might ask? Oh, about ten miles from home going into the Spanish Fork canyon! We're off to a GREAT start!!! She was just SO excited to see them. Dad started off driving and then let Brooke take over the navigating so that they could get there before their ETA. Boy was that a wise decision! The first sign of civilization came with a Home Depot and we were finally there and got to see Holly!!! We all had a good time seeing a lot of New Mexico by our own personal travel guide, Martin. He was a great sport and took us all over, including to Santa Fe, Old Town Albuquerque, and even to Madrid where the movie "Wild Hogs" was filmed. Did anyone know that they don't have a sewer system there? Yep, Brooke learned the hard way but that is TMI!!!! Speaking of . . . the next time you see mom you should ask her how her "brush" with nature was. We won't even go there because frankly, I would be laughing too hard to explain anything and she would kill me! Let me just say if she was a wilderness girl she would DEFINITELY have earned a merit badge! And for the record, I tried really hard to get a picture but she threatened me with my life. We'll see if I'm still alive after she reads this blog. Anyway, we were there about five days where we got to know Holly's boyfriend Martin and his parents. Holly lives about two miles from the temple so that was great to be able to go there. I think the highlight of the trip for Maryn was making friends with all the little critters! Who knew there could be so many cockroaches in the hot desert?!?!?! Road Trip 2008 was a great way to start out our summer and Holly says anyone who wants to come visit is more than welcome. Good times are bound to happen!!! Thanks Holly for letting us visit and gracias to Martin and his family for putting up with us U-tards! Oh Holly, have you remembered to feed your fish, Sushi? We don't want him to have another near-death experience!
