Amarillo gave us 72 oz of steak, but the next morning we were on the road again. Could we reach our goal? This sign let's you know that we made it!
We immediately hit the rest stop for our bladders sake. Little JC asked, "Where are all the trees?" I have to say, this wasteland view is enchanting to only those who enjoy watching CSPAN!
As we drove farther, the landscape became much easier on the eyes. It also helped that we got lunch. We stopped at Joseph's in Santa Rosa. They had a photo op that JC and I talked about all through lunch. My beautiful momma said, "No, no, you are too short!" Luckily I can get my dad to do whatever I want by dangling a Ho-Ho!
By the way, there are overpasses, and then there are New Mexico overpasses. They rarely let an opportunity for art pass them by.
After a pit stop in Santa Fe at the Dunkin Donuts, we made it to Los Alamos and our new home - The Holiday Inn Express (at least for the next few days)!

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!! LOVE YOU!
So happy you had such a fun road trip crossing the states and that you arrived safely in NM, land of few trees? Can't wait to see more of your very entertaining blogs, M! You are quite the writer! And good luck, John, on your first day of work tomorrow! : )
Wow!! Fun road trip! I can't wait to see what New Mexico looks like via the Carpenter's! Do you already know where you'll live or are you still hunting? So fun!
Hello all,
I have really enjoyed the posts of your journey to NM. I can't wait to hear about them in person.
Who is Reginald?
Love,
Aunt Ju-LA
I am glad you had a spare Ho-Ho so that you could convince your dad to pick you up for that awesome picture. You will have it to cherish always.
