i seem to have forgotten my usb camera cord so we'll be making a special stop at best buy (lifesavers) in amarillo, tx to pick one up so we can upload pictures! but for now, a couple iphone shots will have to suffice.
DAY 1:
623 miles, estimated travel time: 10 hrs. 25 min. (actual travel
time...a lot longer)
we drove by innumerable crop circles, smelly cows, drove by bitsy's home town (bakersfield), and had our first chick-fil-a sandwiches (mom's first ever! i think she was more excited about the purple mountains in the mojave desert). we arrived at pit stop #1 just before sundown and slept hard.
DAY 2:
467 miles, estimated travel time: 7 hrs. 17 min.
today was amazing - well, snow is amazing and today involved a lot of it! i-40 took us through the kaibab and coconino national forests which had elevations climbing up to the 7,000's. there was snow on the side of the interstate for a bit before we quickly decided to go off road and explore (love my mom's car for that!) we found this small lake that bitsy quickly became friends with and then we introduced her to snow! she jumped around like a rabbit and kept shaking it off, then rolling in it,
then shaking it off, rolling..shaking...it was adorable. we eventually left the forests and drove by red rocks for a long time until we crossed the new mexico border, lost another hour (how do i get all these back?), and drove halfway through the state to albuquerque. oh and at some point in nm, we stopped at a casino because of it's approximate 800 enticing signs. it was pretty cool. they don't have sales tax.
okay it's 11, even though it's 9, but we have to wake up in about 7 hours and hit the road again soooo we're going to try to sleep. tomorrow i am going to just have a picture frenzy and not write anything. be stoked.
