High point of the day: Singing songs in the car together as a family: "I've Been Working on the Railroad," "Do Your Ears Hang Low," and "ABCs." (We need to learn some new songs!)

Low point of the day: Learning that the restaurant where we wanted to eat in Albuquerque, the Durand Central Pharmacy, was closed for dinner. We should have called ahead!

Quote of the day: "Mommy, you said people would be galloping in Gallup, New Mexico," Paris says. "I think you were lying because I don't see anyone galloping here."

Don't teach your kids "A 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" because it will drive you nuts!
