We had quite the adventure on our way to Texas. We were lucky enough to have Jacqui help me drive down there. She wanted to be apart of Tyler's wedding and also see the family while there. Our first stop was in Durango Colorado, where we met Torri at McDonalds so we could eat lunch and let the kids run around and play. We also went down to the river for a small walk.
The first night, we stopped in New Mexico in a dumpy town and slept in a dumpy hotel room. The town looked like a ghost town and we were a little scared to be by ourselves. The swimming pool was not working, so that was a huge let down. We watched a little TV, ate some KFC and then went to bed.
The next morning we were up and gone by 3 am. Little did we know that up ahead there was an accident that would strand us on the freeway for 8 hours. It was crazy and crappy and made for a long day. But, it will never be forgotten. When the kids woke up, we took them outside to walk around the road with all the other people. We got to know some of our neighboring trucking friends. It was pretty interesting to try and entertain a 16 month old for 8 hours while we sat there on the roadside. Quite and experience!
Along the way, we did a quick stop in Moab so the kids could stretch their legs and climb up to Wilson's Arch.
