The Painted Desert took our breath away. Driving in, it is so unassuming. We were a little confused because it doesn’t look like like much and then suddenly you are surrounded by these drastically changing landscapes. We heard so many “WOWs” from the backseat!
The dry riverbeds were so beautiful. I love the random petrified tree trunks at the bottom of the photo.
Our Easter was really simple this year. We barely managed a decent dinner in the instant pot and after feeling cooped up for days we took a drive that landed us on this beautiful overlook above Santa Fe. We missed church but felt it was better to not infect a congregation with our crud.
The kids were completely thrilled that for Easter this year we had a real live bunny that lived in our RV spot.

We were only supposed to be in Santa Fe for a few days. But it turned in to 10 because we all got very sick. I can only describe it as the plague, it was awful.
