Instead of staying in hotels, we could look at staying in AirBnB's, a lot of times they are cheaper/cost the same, the hotels average $120/$150 per night per room, between Mom's and My room and you guys' room we would have a budget of $240-$300 per night. I will see what I can find. I don't know if it is worth it in the places we are just staying overnight, but in like Albuquerque and LA it might be fun!

Day 1 - February 26 - Drive to Carlsbad NM, stay the night at Hampton Inn & Suites
