On
our way to Mexico ......Hope to miss most of the rain from Odile.
They are expecting more flash flooding in Phoenix as it is heading
this way.
Our
1st stop after leaving Estes Park was Golden to see the
grandkids and pack up our kayak and dive gear. We spent a whole day
with Ethan, (Jeremy’s son, who is 10) doing some shopping, going
out to lunch and going to the new X-Men movie. A whole day of play.
We really had fun!
Then
we drove to Red River the 1st night and stayed with Judy.
Jim's sister Norma was there, too. This was the 1st time
the 3 of them have been together since Jim and I have been together.
It was a hoot.
Made
the long trip to Phoenix and stayed with Melanie and got to spend
time with grandsons Jack and Harvey. By then Norma got back to
Phoenix and we stayed with her for a couple of days.
While
out running errands we stopped to have lunch at Chino Bandido which
was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

We've talked about eating there every time we come to Phoenix and
this time we were finally in the “neighborhood”. It is in a
little strip mall. As the name suggests it is a fusion of Mexican and
Chinese food with some Jamaican thrown in. Really great food. Check
out their menu at chinobandido.com.
It's
been 100'+ here and Lucy has been really uncomfortable. We knew
Mexico will be almost as hot for at least a month plus playing in the
sand and salt water so we got a hot weather hair cut for Lucy. Now
she looks like a Catawhoula except without the tail. Pictures of our trip to Phoenix
Lucy doesn't look like she is sure she likes her new haircut!! Fingers crossed for good traveling weather for you!!!
