Road trip to Dallas- Day 3

9:15 am 

We have been on the road for almost an hour. We are now in Texas and it is 100% flat. No hills at all, just a big huge flat land. But there are hundred and thousands of windmills! It looks so cool and Copelin loves them. He calls them “babybow” haha. I tried to take a picture but it doesn’t do it justice, there are just windmills as far as the eye can see in every direction. In the picture you can see how smoky the air is from the wildfires in New Mexico. Luckily we didn’t run into any issues yesterday but we did see signs letting people know that there could be road closures due to the fires. 

12pm (Texas time) 

We just left Amarillo. We stopped at Cadillac Ranch and then the 2nd amendment cowboy. Lennon LOVED spray painting the cars at Cadillac ranch, he could’ve stayed there all day. Cope had fun climbing around in the cars. Last time we stopped we were the only ones there and the place was pretty clean. Today there were quite a few people and soooo many empty spray paint cans and lids. I wish we would’ve had a trash bag to pick up a bit. Now we’re on the road again and hopefully will only have to stop once more before we get to the apartment! 

Road trip to Dallas- Day 1

12:35 pm

Day one of our trip has been successful. We left the house two hours later than planned but have had good driving conditions so far so we are making up time. The boys are all set up in the backseat with their new car organizers I made them and their special travel blankets Aunt Cheryl made them. Copelin’s has a donkey in it (his favorite animal) and Lennon’s has a soccer ball. 

We stopped in Price for lunch and now Cope is asleep and Lennon is playing games on the iPad. 

We stopped at Hole n the Rock just past Moab. The boys thought that was pretty cool. They had two antique grocery store type rides that still work! They each had a turn and loved it. 

We made it to the KOA in Durango, Colorado about 5pm. We made really good time, I can’t believe how fast the drive went and how well the boys did. 

Our little cabin has a kitchen so we ate dinner here and then went swimming and checked out the campground.  Cope is SUCH a fish! All he wants to do is kick and paddle around and stick his head under water. Lennon sat on the edge and cried about being cold haha total opposites.  

We are excited for the pancake breakfast they have in the morning served next to a real caboose!
