How to have fun on a 1200 mile car trip...

Last week we embarked on a road trip from ABQ to Nashville.  Don't know why, but we drove the 20+ hours in one day.  Starbucks at 9 pm helped.  We broke it up on the way home - long, but more tolerable.  Still on my fitbit quest for steps, I ran in place at every pit stop getting 8000 steps while driving all day!
I was impressed with myself:)

Kids were fantastic travelers (as usual) and we had some fun with nostalgic kiddie cd's we found buried in the glove box, cranking up the oldies (that'd be 80's for us) through Oklahoma City, and stopping to enjoy some fun sites along the way.   Here's the travel log:

Make sure to stop in Memphis to say "hi" to Elvis
Relax for a bit and a bite at The Barrel (Cracker that is)

Stop to pay your respects to Garth in Yukon!                        
        
Stretch your legs and get a photo at the Texas Welcome Center


Gotta eat some Texas BBQ while in Amarillo!

And don't miss a stop at the world famous Cadillac Ranch!  Hubby even got into the spray painting (no worries, it's legal here).




Hope you all enjoyed Spring Break!  Ours was busy - - - more on those adventures later as now I am off to snooze in my own bed:)
