Pinetop-Lakeside Arizona

The rest of us met in Pinetop Arizona. Simms drove from CA. Christiansens drove from Utah. Us and Petes drove from Texas. So there was twenty-one of us and two dogs. 😝 We rented a Vrbo house (cabin). There were four large bedrooms, so each family got a bedroom and a bathroom. Most of us got a bed... with a couple of the kids on air mattresses. It had a large kitchen with two ovens/stove tops. The Simms arrived first on Tuesday, and Annie cooked dinner that evening. Then us and the Petes arrived and later the Christiansens. (they actually left home on Sunday and stayed with Gary and Quin that night, then did some sightseeing on Monday and Tuesday.) Us and Petes left San Antonio on Monday morning (in the rain) and stayed in Roswell, New Mexico on Monday evening. Driving across that part of New Mexico was different than I expected. I was thinking of northern New Mexico with "real mountains". 😉 Other than leaving in the rain on Monday morning, the rest of the driving weather on road conditions were perfect. Just lots of hours of following a white Honda Pilot. We drove Audrey's blue car, to get better gas milage than the suburban. The snow was at a small park along the way. Here are pics from the drive and the house in Pinetop. I will do other posts of Thanksgiving dinner and Eden's birthday party, and White Sands National Park. (We went there on Sunday, on our drive back home.)
