Verde Valley, Arizona


We left Albuquerque this morning and are now settled in at Verde Valley, AZ. As you can see from the picture, I did help Dad with the driving, making sure he didn't get us lost. What a beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay in Albuquerque, even though I was not allowed to go on a hot air balloon ride. This morning as we were leaving Albuquerque we saw 12 hot air balloons flying around. While in the Albuquerque area, we did ride up to Bandelier National Monument and got to see the cliff dwellings of the ancestral Pueblos, dating back to the 1400's. Mom and Dad rode the tramway up to the top of Sandia Peak. One day we saw some professional skateboarders come down the Scenic Byway from Sandia Peak. Man, were they moving. We also went to Ft Sumner and found the grave of Billy The Kid.
We are excited about arriving in Arizona. Mom and Dad have a lot planned so I will keep you informed as we see and do things.
