Granpa and I have a post of our first visit to Montezuma's Castle. http://www.thetravelerstwo.net/2015/02/montezumas-castle.html But this is a first visit for the grandkids (and Kristin.)
Oh, my goodness! It was a hot, hot August day! I can imagine the ancient peoples that lived here reveled in the breezes that that height made, the shade and the safety of cliff dwelling!
Kristin asked one of the Park rangers how the children kept from falling off. He opined, "The parents told them not to." It certainly was a simpler time back then!
Traveling should be an education for children. Can you imagine if they had flown to Arizona to see us? All of the things they would have missed seeing! It's unimaginable to me that parents or grandparents would choose to fly hither, thither and yon rather than driving! Especially with a traveling companion like Kristin to read books to them, play games with them, challenge them to memory verse competition...
(And then there are always the evening dips in hotel pools. Can't get that on an airplane!)
