We LOVED the PetrifiedForestAssn Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park. I grossly underestimated how much the kids would be engaged or how much time we would spend here. It is a National treasure. The kids loved earning their Jr Park Ranger badges. #grandcanyonspringbreak

This road trip has been fueled by Oreos and Pringles - whenever the drive gets too long, these snacks have been lifesavers. #grandcanyonspringbreak

We spent the night at ⁦Wigwam Motel⁩. We all loved the wigwams as well as the collection of old cars. #grandcanyonspringbreak

We loved dinner at Martanne’s Burrito or Breakfast Palace. The horchata was awesome, the burritos were incredible, the beans flavorful, and the grilled cheese extra cheesy. #grandcanyonspringbreak

I watch way too much HGTV and Million Dollar Listing because I have been announcing all of the altitudes on this trip as square feet and then having to correct myself. #grandcanyonspringbreak

We loved sledding at White Sands National Park! The diversity of the landscape we have seen on this trip is incredible. #grandcanyonspringbreak

Early in the trip, a rogue road sign obliterated our windshield. Today, we got a new windshield. Shout out to ⁦Horace Mann⁩ who patiently worked through each zip code of our trip to find an appointment that would work with our itinerary. #grandcanyonspringbreak

We made it to Pistachioland! Time to learn all about one of our favorite nuts. #grandcanyonspringbreak

On this trip, we have seen so many trucks and trains. A huge shoutout to the many people in these two industries that keep our country running. One of our kids made this sign that has been in our window throughout the trip. #grandcanyonspringbreak

Thank you Home2 Suites by Hilton for knowing us by name! The kids were amazed and freaking out! #grandcanyonspringbreak

Our kids have been amazing troopers in the car over the 2100 miles so far and earned a stop at the coolest McDonald's in Roswell - shaped like a UFO w a great play area and a New Mexico only green chile cheeseburger. #grandcanyonspringbreak

Officially Junior Park Rangers at ⁦Carlsbad Caverns NPS⁩! #4 was starving and not excited about another photo even though she had the best attitude while we were here. #grandcanyonspringbreak

⁦GuadalupeMountainsNP⁩ - we HAD to visit since it’s in our home state! #grandcanyonspringbreak

Throughout the trip, the kids have self appointed themselves as “explorers.” Today at ⁦Carlsbad Caverns NPS⁩ they had a question to connect with about explorers. #3 said “it takes bravery and hard work” (to be an explorer) #grandcanyonspringbreak

When you are 5 and 7, happiness on vacation is an indoor pool, a bowl of popcorn and a favorite tv show. #grandcanyonspringbreak

2732 miles. 1531 photos. Eight days. Seven hotels. Six loads of laundry on the road. Five national parks. Four incredible traveling kids. Three states. Two time zones. One incredible vacation with countless memories and family bonding. So thankful. #grandcanyonspringbreak
