The Four Corners

When I was little I took many summer trips with my family out West. We've taken trips to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore, and Wyoming to stay at Yellowstone National Park, but we've also stayed in Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. I have quite a bit of family in Colorado so I've stayed there on many occasions. One of my most memorable trips out West includes my stay in New Mexico and our trip to the Four Corners. 

The Four Corners, is the only point in the United States where four states touch. People visiting can be in four states at one time. When we went there is was very busy. We had to wait around for our turn to get up close and stand in all of the states. I'll admit it's kind of neat to say I've stood in four states at once, but I think the whole thing is a little overrated. Some people there were a little too excited. 

After our day at the Four Corners we stayed in Bloomfield, New Mexico at the Best Western Territorial Inn. For the most part it was a nice hotel. All throughout the lobby and main floor there are painted murals of old western scenes high on the walls. I liked how it gave me the old western kind of feel during my stay. I also liked how the hotel offered an indoor pool and hot tub. It was nice to come back after a day of walking and just relax. When I heard the hotel had a exercise room I was excited to try it out, however, after seeing it I didn't. It was very small and didn't have much to offer, only a few machines. Our hotel room was pretty much the typical hotel room with small beds, a little couch to sit on, and mini fridge. There was nothing great about it. It would be hard for big families. The Best Western is not bad for a one-night stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for a long stay.
