Hi, it's Brittney again. Day 4 we drove from Albuquerque, NM to Phoenix, Arizona. On the way there we drove into a sand storm on I40. This is as scary as a blizzard. You can not see anything and the winds are so strong they feel like they can blow your car over. The weather was so bad, they closed the freeway. We had to take an alternative route. We got lucky, this was beautiful. It went through the mountains and on a gravel road for 8 miles through a national forest. We met our grandparents in Sedona, Arizona for lunch. They have been in Arizona since January in their camper. We were going to spend the night here, but it was too cold and windy, so we drove down to the dessert. We checked into our hotel a day early. The hotel is great, it has more than 10 pools and a huge water slide that goes through the mountain. It also has hiking trails that leave right from the resort. We have hiked almost everyday. We have to look out for rattlesnakes on the trail. We have not seen any, only a lizard. The cacti here are really cool! There are so many different kinds of them and they are everywhere! Yesterday we went to Chase Field Stadium for the opening day. The Phoenix Diamond Backs played the Colorado Rockies. The Phoenix Diamond Backs won 9-8. My parents were disappointed that the did not leave the retractable roof open.







Hi! It's Brehndan. I will give you the answers to your questions. The weather is awesome so far! It has been between 80-90 Degrees here everyday. Now, we are in Phoenix, Arizona. We went to the opening day of baseball at Chase Field. The Diamond Backs won 9-8. Each team had at least 7 home runs. It was fun to watch. We took the train, like the one they run in Mpls to the game. We are going to another baseball game in Denver on Sunday.
