In July, Daryl and Jessie took off for a 9 day road trip.. I couldn't get that much time away from work, and the other two kids that live at home didn't really want to go. So the two of them went alone, and had a wonderful time.
They left early on a Saturday morning, heading to Carlsbad Caverns. They arrived, checked into their hotel, and then went to watch the bat flight out of the caverns at dusk.
The next day they went and did the tour of the caverns.. They got a lot of interesting photos to share with me.
After they left Carlsbad, they headed off to Roswell.. No visit to Area 51, But they did see some Aliens.. (even if they weren't real)
They said their favorite hotel of the trip was in Roswell.. It was the nicest, had the best breakfast and was also the least expensive of all the ones they stayed at.. it was a Comfort Inn.
After they left Roswell, it was Grand Canyon time.. They got to their hotel after dark, and when they got up to go visit the Canyons, it was raining.. SO.. they decided to take the drive over and see the Hoover Dam.
Jessie has wanted to go there for years, ever since it was referenced in one of her "Percy Jackson" books.. She wanted to go get a 'dam snack' from the 'dam snack bar' and a 'dam t shirt' ...
They had a great time at Hoover Dam, and it was late at night when they got back to their hotel..
They stopped once in a while and just viewed scenery while driving.. even got a few "selfies" now and then.
They spent two days at the canyon.. Exploring and hiking..
After the Grand Canyon they went to The Petrified Forest, and the Painted Desert.....
They were certainly glad to be home after all that traveling.. but it was such a wonderful father/daughter experience for the both of them. I am very glad they had that time together before our "baby" is grown and gone..
