Please feel free to advise on the different things/timing of the trip. I think I have a good balance. The adults are in late 30s, kids are 7 and 14 (and luckily interested in things)

Hey, Tohonomke. What's this late 30's adults? I have another decade or so on that. Anyway, it looks like a good mix. I'm looking forward to it.

It's a great trip. I do have a few questions, though. On June 22, are you driving from the Grand Canyon to Winslow? On June 23, where are you staying? Somewhere in Gallup? On June 30, I'm assuming you're staying with friends in Phoenix?

I'm looking forward to the trip.
