After the long drive through the Pertified Forest, we headed to the Meteor Crater, which was also on our way to Flagstaff. We finished up with plenty of time to get to our hotel for the night, which was only like 45 minutes away...
 |
| There were lots of signs so we knew we were going the right way :) |
 |
| The compound |
 |
| The meteor...or what was left..... |
 |
| Us! |
 |
| James was ready for hot dogs, and was only happy for a few minutes..... |
 |
| Luckily I got a couple happy pics of him.... |
 |
| The museum was cool! |
 |
| We had to rush cuz we got there close to closing time.... |
 |
| The kids liked the simulator that let you make a meteor so you could see the what kind of damage and where it would impact.....Nana took out all of Asia lol! |
 |
| The Meteor Crater |
 |
| I guess you used to be able to go down in, but you can't now.....my grandparents and most of my moms side of the family going way back are from here, and before we came up my grandma told me that they sent a bird into a hole down at the bottom of the crater and it died, so they closed it off.....crazy.... |
 |
| Jack explored all possible paths.... |
 |
| Another observation deck.... |
 |
| Jack and some dude.... |
 |
| Me and James, and Tom and Jack.... |
 |
| Jack said there was a puddle at the bottom of the crater |
 |
| It looked like it was gonna rain the whole time we were there...but it didn't...not like Maryland lol |
 |
| Amazing. |
 |
| The older kids enjoyed watching cable, while waiting for the laundry to be done...our hotel had a free laundromat, and we could never get more than one load in one machine, cuz people were camped out in there with like a years worth of dirty clothes and all the machines were in use simultaneously...crazy.... |
 |
| James was happy to be getting a steady diet of hot dogs again |
 |
| Jack watched the new Superman movie like 4 times.... |
 |
| Cutie :) |
