My last entry ended in Texas. I forgot to mention the incident we had at our hotel in OK...
At one point, Beeboo escaped from our hotel room and ran out into the hall. I ran after her, while Justin shut the door so no other cats would escape. I chased her up the hall and down the hall, and realized she was looking for the open door to return to the safety of our room. I shouted at Justin "Open the door!" and he opened it. Beeb made a beeline(or should that be "Beebline"?) for the door, and has not tried such a daring escape since.
On to New Mexico! This is where the drive started to get really scenic. The terrain gradually became more and more brown. And rocky.
In New Mexico, we hit a pretty bad storm...
We stayed a night in Albuquerque, where we enjoyed eating at a New Mexican restaurant.
Not sure exactly on the order for the rest of the photos since my camera and phone were not synced to the same time...but here are a few highlights from the rest of the trip through New Mexico and Arizona.

| Flagstaff |
This was our first time in Flagstaff, and we immediately fell in love with it just from passing through. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees or so, and the mountains were very impressive.
The 2 hour drive from Flagstaff down to Phoenix flew by (for us, maybe not the cats). We watched as the landscape became more dry, and then we started to see Saguaros.
We finally arrived in Phoenix, and settled in for a week at an extended stay hotel until our belongings were delivered to our new apartment. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we have a great view from our balcony, looking north at some mountains. I'm going to strategically not mention that the mountain view comes with a highway view as well...wouldn't want you to be less jealous of us.
