After the wonders of Monument Valley we made our way south again and back to the Route 66 in Holbrook. The drive was so beautiful - kilometers left and right without anything inhabited. We also drove by the painted desert and the petrified forest.
Holbrook, Arizona is home to another iconic motel, The WigWam Motel. Petteke was so happy we were going to sleep in a teepee, but did not really understand we would not need a sleeping bag and that there was going to be a toilet in the wigwam. It was a warm day and after a few hours in the car we were ready for some family fun. The girl at the motel office told us there was a splash pad a few blocks down the road, so off we went. Olivia had such a good time running from the water mostly and Lolo practiced his baseball and golf skills. After we did a little apero in front of our wigwam and went to dinner, before turning in for the night. Olivia loved it, and wanted to stay for another couple of days , but we had to hit the road again. Grand Canyon here we come again, this time with a kid!
