On our way

View from here: yes, it's true, it looks like the moon.

This is a long day.  It is a solid three hours from our house to the Albuquerque airport, not counting a stop in Santa Fe for coffee to keep ourselves revved up.  Now it's a three hour wait until our flight, thanks to Southwest Airlines cutting their scheduled nonstop flights to San Diego to only two a day...early morning or later in the evening.  It's all good, though, because I know some happy little faces await us at the other end of this day.  Mr. Sunflower is a tireless traveler; I fear I'm not so perky about it as I used to be.  However, I must always remember that I don't have to ride a covered wagon for months to get there, or worse yet, never see them at all.
