Camping in Flagstaff

Well, we survived our first camping outing alone. We stayed at a KOA in Flagstaff, about 3 hours away. It had bathrooms and showers! (This was a must for me!) We arrived about 5:30 Friday night and Mike got everything set up and then grilled brats for dinner. Patrick enjoyed the playground right across from us. He wasn't thrilled to go initially as he thought that the Schuhmachers from WI should join us too! (We had only camped with them before.) He got over that though when he met a new friend at the playground. It was a bit chilly at night dropping into the 50s for sure. Not too bad though. It was nice Sat. morning when we got up, but by about 11 it began to rain. We sat in the camper and Mike read and I cropped photos. That part was ok. When it let up we headed out to see the Meteor Crater. That was interesting. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. It was rather windy and rainy by the time the guided tour was to take place and they cancelled it. Oh well. We drove back into town and ate at the brew pub. Back at the camper Mike and I played the Archie Bunker card game. It was rather fun. I began raining again and I had a hard time sleeping with the continual PING PING on the camper. The boys didn't seem to have any problems at all. Just me I guess. Not fond of it at home and didn't like it there either. Luckily it stopped raining before morning so things weren't too wet and we could get packed up. Headed toward home and stopped at Montezuma Well. That was interesting. Maybe we'll see the castle next time. It POURED part of the way home and then by the time we hit Phoenix it was blue skies and over 100 degrees. Overall it was a nice time. We have another trip planned the second weekend in August with another attorney and his family.
