Road Trip Day #9 - The Road to Denver, CO

After a great weekend in Albq, NM, we had our breakfast and headed to Denver, CO. The kids had a bumpy start, but were real troopers in the car today. No movies, just amazing views and I was so happy to share them with the kids. I know that they will remember the amazing scenery for a very long time.

Here is how our day went:
9:54am - ODO: 14,074 - Leave hotel in Albq, NM
12:08pm - Arrive at rest stop near Valmore, NM - lunch and potty break
12:29pm - ODO: 14,223 - Leave rest stop
