Heading to Texas

It's Saturday morning and we're getting ready to make a 7 hour drive to Childress, Texas. Childress is an hour or 2 past Amarillo.

We didn't get to really enjoy anything about albuquerque other than the Cracker Barrel.. ;) but we're anxious to see some friends and family in Dallas in a few days so the rush will be worth it.

We did get to enjoy the beautiful drive TO albuquerque and saw a lot of great wide open spaces..here's some pix!

Family, Flagstaff and Albuquerque

YEAH!.. We made it to Albuquerque!

After blowing through my old stomping grounds in 29 Palms, we headed past amboy, got on the I40 and stopped to visit Marie's cousin Frank and family in Bullhead City! It was neat seeing frank and his awesome kids. He's so blessed!

The kids had a blast hanging out and getting to know each other. We hope that once we get settled in Virginia they'll come and visit!

After a long visit we headed out to Flagstaff.. thank goodness for the GPS.. we would have never have found Franks or Flagstaff without this cool gizmo! aint technology grand?

The weather in Flagstaff was nice and chilli. At an elevation of 6700 feet i guess that's the norm. We got to our hotel room pretty beat but got a good nights sleep, woke up pretty refreshed and was ready to hit the open road and head out to Albuquerque.
