Fun day of travel and I got to see a new chunk of America.

Got out of the hotel pretty early this morning for the Murphy family - out before 8 AM. Went to the Four Corners and took the obligatory pictures of ourselves in four states. Abby and Andy have been saving money for this trip and they each have (had) about $30.00 so Abby got a Navajo necklace and bracelet and Andy got an arrow which he says he can use to kill a buffalo if we get stranded somewhere. Then we wandered through New Mexico visiting Anasazi ruins and eating a lot of junk food. Made it into our hotel this afternoon for some swimming and an easy four miles on the treadmill.

Lots of push-ups and sit-ups.

I don't have to check in for my class until tomorrow afternoon so I think we're heading up to Taos tomorrow so I can visit Kit Carson's grave and other history geek stuff.

I hope Andy kills that buffalo and we can have a buffalo burger cookout!

My daughter picked up a "cool rock" at the wildlife preserve in Oklahoma the other day. It was a giant buffalo turd. Enjoy the history geekery.
