The Trip Of A Lifetime...(Part 2)

We finally made it to Texas! Wow is New Mexico boring! Arizona wasn't that much more exciting I have to say. We laughed a lot today...I guess there isn't much else to do on a 10 hour drive, with 2 time zone changes and 2 state lines, stopping for a few fun pictures..

(Day 2! We're Off!)


(Sam and his best friend Andy have a weird fascination with Dragon's...or really they like to make fun of people that like them...so we couldn't resist this picture!)


(Notice the VAST NOTHINGNES behind us at this rest stop in Arizona...finally a picture not with a beach behind us)


(We finally made it out of Arizona! Not gonna lie...we didn't see much enchantment)


After a few gas stops, bathroom stops and stops to buy Jacob post cards with the state's map we were driving through, we finally saw it...

(Notice in the far left the Texas Monument with the GIANT star welcoming us to Texas....Everything is BIGGER in Texas)


(Here is the Welcome to Texas Official Sign)


The best part was when we were nearing where we wanted to stop about 2 and 1/2 hours into Texas...the moon looked SO big and like it was right off the freeway. It looked like an ENORMOUS sugar cookie. I tried to take a picture, of course, but it didn't work. It was SO beautiful and reminded me how big our world is and incredible God is...I think that he really did make it look like a cookie...I betcha God LOVES sweets...just my opinion of course :)

Tomorrow we are trying to head to Louisiana, but Texas is a BIG state. We will see how we do. I am really excited to see the Gulf of Mexico and see New Orleans. We are both wanting to see the devastation that wreaked havoc on that city not very long ago, and I would love to see the French Quarter. I loved watching when Food Network people went there :)

I wish there was more exciting stuff that we did today...but really, driving in three states in one day...pretty cool :)
