It is Day 3 and we are still speaking to one another. Emma still not really into us taking her picture as she gives me the hand at breakfast.
Today is our shortest travel day, which means we have plenty of time to stop and see the Continiental Divide and the World's largest Meteor Crater. Just what every 4 year old wants to experience. Thankfully, it is a quick 6 miles off of I 40 and in the middle of Nowhere, Arizona, just west of Winslow. Along the way Emma pointed out the "Cloud Factories", also known as, power plants
To my amazement it was a really cool stop. To think that a meteor crashed into the Earth 50,000 years ago and left this mark is pretty amazing. As Emma told us, "Actually, a comet broke the meteor in half in space and the part that broke off came crashing down and made this humongous hole in the ground." WHAT????? We asked, "Where did you learn that?". Her reply, "the video outside silly, you really should pay attention!"
Dave and Emma hit the gift shop and we left with a bag of rocks, a magic egg and a purple koozie. Note to self, Dave needs to be monitored in the gift shops!
From there we made it to our Best Western #3 in Williams, AZ. This quaint little town reminded Emma and I of Radiator Springs. We made it an early night to get plenty of rest for the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
