T-E-X-A-S!

So you might be wondering why on our second day of traveling, we are wearing our Cowboys gear. That's because we drove through the great state of Texas!! If you know me well, you know I'm a diehard  Dallas Cowboys fan. So this was very exciting for me! We drove through the very North part of Texas and stopped in Amarillo for the night. 

Welcome to Texas (4th state in our travels)

American and state flag.

There were a lot of oil rigs/wells in Texas. All up and down I-40.
Rest area we stopped at.

The further West we drove in TX, the more rocky and canyon like it became. It was absolutely gorgeous! You could see for miles!



Comforting. 
Up and down I-40 is Old Route 66 and Historic Route 66.

Sunset outside of Amarillo.

Hotel for the night.

Day 2 - Oklahoma!

Day 2 - Oklahoma. On Sunday, we left Little Rock and kept driving West. We drove through most of Oklahoma and on in to Amarillo, TX where we stopped for the night. Oklahoma was pretty boring, very flat and mostly Indian reservations. 
Welcome to Oklahoma!

At OK welcome center. Stopped here for lunch.






I-40 West, Oklahoma.

Checotah - Home of Carrie Underwood.



Lots of cattle ranches and red dirt/clay.



More red dirt/clay. But you could see blue skies for forever!

Day 1

We left Tennessee this past Saturday for our move out West. Our first day, we drove the state of Tennessee and stopped in Little Rock, AR. 

Loaded up!

Our first stop (for lunch). Somewhere around Nashville.
So happy to be out of the truck!
This was our stop for dinner. Re-united! LOL We stopped at Cracker Barrel, right before Memphis.
Running around.
Letting the kids play.
