Here we are again on another cross country road trip, this time headed to Pensacola, Florida. We're going to be driving through a part of the country I've never seen before, I'm pretty excited. We left the house at 7pm and Lennon fell asleep about 20 minutes into the drive. I'm hoping he sleeps through the night. We're planning on driving straight to Dallas, Texas before stopping. If that works out as planned we should be there in the early evening and be able to get checked into a hotel and relax.
10:47am (Texas time)
We made it to Amarillo around 7:30 this morning, and of course we listened to Amarillo Sky and Amarillo by Morning on our way in. There's nothing like some good old country music in Texas. We ate breakfast at a truck stop (yummy...) Lennon was really excited to see all the trucks and get out and stretch his legs after 12 hours in the car. I guess we were all excited to stretch our legs even if it was at a truck stop, driving through the night can be rough. After breakfast we went to Cadillac Ranch, it's a bunch of cars that are sticking out of the ground. People spray paint their names and stuff all over them, it was really cool to see. There were a ton of half empty cans of spray paint on the ground so we wrote our name on a car. After that we stopped at the second amendment cowboy, pretty much just a giant cowboy statue with some Cadillacs behind him and a plaque with the second amendment on it. We've been following along Route 66 a lot of the way so there have been a lot of pretty cool old things to see.
Lindale Texas (an hour past Dallas)
We got to our hotel at 5pm, after 21 hours in the car. We showered and then went to dinner. It was so nice to be able to get out of the car and freshen up. We ate at a Mexican restaurant right in front of our hotel, it was really good. Lennon got his own bowl of salsa and ate it before either of us ate ours. I can't believe how good and happy has been on the trip so far. He hasn't cried, complained, thrown fits or anything. He plays good in the car, just talks to us, and of course sings to us. Three blind mice turned into "three blind mice ROCKET! Three blind mice ROCKET!" He sang that on repeat for quite a while haha.
Earlier, we ate lunch at a park with a big pond. Kyle and Lennon were throwing bits of their pizza crust to the ducks and geese, when the crust was all gone the ducks and geese (like 30 of them) started following Lennon around the park, of course I panicked. I ran to the top of the playground and yelled at Kyle to get Lennon out of there but he though it was funny. Luckily no one got hurt.
