By the Time I Get To Phoenix

billroperHi!
Our vacation continues and I have been offered the use of a computer desk to type at, so here I am.
We spent two days driving down to visit my brother Mitch in DFW, which included a stop at Meramec Caverns, as the kids had never had a chance to go down into a cave before. Then we spent several days relaxing there and catching up with Mitch. Activities were minimal, but included a trip to the new Rangers ballpark to see the home team beat the Mets, which is always a good thing. It was a lot of fun. Sadly, we didn't get to see my sister Judy, because she was on vacation in Colorado and returned the day after we departed. We'll figure something out in the future. And it was great having a chance to get down and spend time talking with Mitch.
Two more days of driving (including stops at the Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, and Meteor Crater) brought us to Phoenix, where we're staying with Gretchen's brother Jeff and his wife Carol. It is very hot and we are staying out of the heat as much as possible. More catching up is happening -- not as I type, because Jeff has run out to pick up dinner, but it's catching up.
I've taken advantage of the computer time to catch up on emails I need to send and checking in on a few things. Tomorrow is laundry day before the kids and I depart for the con, leaving Gretchen in Phoenix for more relaxing and catching up.
It has been a *long* time since I've done this much driving. :)
