a zany drive across the southwest

Hello friends! Updates on Joshua Tree and Zion to come when Eli and I have more time to devote to a proper entry, but wanted to give a brief update and tidbits from yesterday's lonnng drive from Zion National Park in Utah to Taos, New Mexico, where we are happily resting today.

1) We are getting creative with car snacks. Only 6+ hours of driving can make the following combo taste delicious and interesting. Please note the "Secret Aardvark" sauce product placement. They aren't paying me but considering how I've converted Eli's entire family into paying customers, they should be. 


2) I haven't been doing flambouyant roadside exercises hardly at all. Kicking off this routine right outside the Santa Fe National Forest in just above freezing weather at an altitude of 7000 feet was not my most strategic move. Some judgemental livestock looked on. But it sure was beautiful...















3) Long story short, after riding a serious collective wave of indecision and subsequently grappling with going in and out of cell service for several hours, we sprung for tickets to see Beyonce on Eli's birthday, several days after we're expecting to return to Bay from this road trip in May. Pretty exciting.

Did I mention it's been snowing in Taos?
Looking forward to updating with more photos, stories, and reflections!

xoxo freddie
