I'm on my way to Holbrook this evening. Jealous much? You should be. Here are a list of things I plan on doing:
- El to the Rancho, as if I even need to put it on a list. Eat approximately 23,436 tacos.
- Go to The Roxy, no matter what is playing, I assume it will be Benchwarmers. Get the stale popcorn and insist everyone have some.
- Take some pictures with the dinosaurs.
- Tape coins to the railroad track, wait for a train to smash them, then spend 45 minutes looking for the smashed coins because the tape never works.
- Soak up every nanosecond I have with Hailey.
- Go to Alco and read the magazines.
- Look through all of the old clothes at grandma's house, perhaps take home a few more vintage treasures (see: my rad boots)
- Watch grandma wander around the backyard smashing roaches and digging out snails, gladly listen to her full report on the number of little intruders she killed.
- Take a few laps.

Oh I am jealous! Remember our road trip, you me and Chris and we stayed at your Dad's hotel? I'm so glad my offspring love and cherish Holbrook as much as Chris and I do!!! Yes take a lap and eat a sacred taco for me. I just wish you could have seen Holbrook in its heyday, hotels chock full of tourists, the bars somewhat clean looking, not so many drunk indians in the gutter and the Guttery Laundromat and Guttery Jiffy Mart in full patron swing....ahhh those were the days.

I even remember helping clean the Jiffymart/laundromat. Ah, the wonder years. I am jealous of that Holbrook list. Well, jealous of the El Rancho part....and the Roxy. Have fun Caca and don't you kids stay out too late, now. :p
