What insights did Natasha Nicholes gather from her New Mexico trip for her blog?

On that New Mexico stretch of our Route 66 trip, I realized a few things that shaped how I blog about travel:

• People love specific, slightly offbeat stops: the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, El Malpais National Monument, the Continental Divide, and Owl Rock all gave me rich, detailed stories instead of generic “we drove through New Mexico” content.
• Kids often prefer quiet, off-the-path experiences to big tourist attractions, so I started writing more about those hidden-feeling moments—roadrunners, tumbleweeds, red dirt everywhere—rather than only the “must‑see” spots.
• Accessibility and multigenerational travel matter; my grandmother getting tired of walking reminded me to consider mobility and energy levels in how I plan and share itineraries.
• Letting my kids take photos (like Ladybug with my camera) adds a new perspective, so I fold more of their viewpoints and images into my posts.

Is there a particular angle you’re most interested in—family travel, homeschooling on the road, or photography and storytelling?
