I do have to mention, after complaining about the high cost of Legoland, we did get one hotel night free, from using our reward night from Priority Club rewards, so we did hit a bargain with that, and just so happened that we hit "kids eat free" at Denny's. (the kids love to eat there, who doesn't love to eat chocolate pancakes for dinner?)
The next day we headed east towards Arizona to spend a night or 2 at Paul's mom's house and to pick her up to bring her back to our house for a visit.
The drive wasn't too bad, we did stop off to visit a military museum...and that was also FREE, just so happened that Wednesdays were free, HOOH AH!!!
The heat in Arizona was pretty much a downer, but that does not kill us, will make us cranky, whiny and appreciate AC, right?
We did get to see our nephew work at In and Out burger. Yummy!!! We also celebrated my sister-in-laws birthday (early) The kids enjoyed the (nearly) unlimited pool time at Nana's house.
Then after a few days visiting, and doing laundry we headed back to Colorado. Making a stop to see the, wigwam hotels, and petrified forest.
Our plans were to spend the night in New Mexico....Albuquerque, but as it turned out, there were no vacancies, so we had to head about an hour to Santa Fe. Oh well, thank God for my AAA book and a cell phone. After spending one night...a few hours later we were HOME!!!
