Road Trip - Part 1 - To Albuquerque

Despite our connections to fly, we decided to make a fun road trip out of it, and drive to Utah this summer. Travis had a good chunk of time off which also made driving seem more worth it. Plus that way we got to take just about everything we could ever want to pack and we had a car the whole time we were there. We left on a Thursday morning at 3:30am.
Bergen was awake for the start of the trip but after trying to stay awake when it really is the middle of the night, he finally zonked out and slept a good portion of the day.
At around 3pm we pulled up to this park and children's museum in Albuquerque, NM for lunch and some much needed wiggling.
I was super ambition and had all our meals packed that we could eat at parks along the way. All part of the fun, right? (I was not as ambition for the way home) I will say, Albuquerque and NM in general wasn't that appealing to me, but it sure was nice to be sitting under the tree and enjoy the cool shade even though it was a very hot day.
After lunch we explored the museum. They had some fun stuff for Bergen AND Travis and I.
This room is actually the elevator. Crazy!
Bergen liked the music making items, and anything that involved putting something into something else. Blocks in cupboards, balls in tubes, and plastic vegetables in baskets to name a few.
It was a fun couple of hours, but then it was time to get some rest. We still had another big day of driving ahead of us.
We stayed at a hotel for the night and Bergen's favorite thing there was the AC unit. Do you know how many buttons and knobs those things have? Tons! And just his size too!

How fun! I wish Matt would drive with me but it takes too long (for him to take off work). Enjoy your trip. I owe you babysitting when you're back. Oh, and those bath pictures are to die for. Love that boy.
