ODE TO THE GASOLINE PUMP
If I weren't so tired I would write a poem worthy of these final pictures. I want to get all the photos uploaded as I'm hearing horrors of bloggers upgrades. I have no clue what they are upgrading but want these photos UP before they do whatever they are about to do. {g}
As I shared at the start of the trip, I decided to try to take photos at each gas pump we filled up at. I suspected it would be the most "important" highlight of our trip. I didn't get them all - but here's quite a few....and we found gas to be cheapest right here in West TX.
New Deal, TX - first gas stop of the road trip
Raton, NM
CO Springs, CO (where I THOUGHT I lost a child)
Billings, MT
Spokane, WA
Livingston, MT
Mike even cooperated
Getting good at catching models on the fly...Jamin
10 people in the car and not ONE of them will pose any longer....the last day before we arrived home...Santa Fe, NM

LOL on your foot! I noticed that the models were dwindling as the pictures went on!

When we were at the lake, only 45 min. drive north of us, gas was $2.99 a gallon. We came home and it was $2.76! I told Doug to hurry up and fill up lol. It hadn't been that "cheap" (and I use that term loosely) in a long time! Can you imagine being thrilled to pay $2.76 lol....

Wright Patt is only 4 hours from us :) That would be a cool place to be stationed. Although I don't know if I'd be longing for OH lol.... Well, in the SW part of the state, the weather is much nicer than in the NE where we are. Not sure why that is. Oh, probably because we are near Lake Erie!

OK...I'm rambling. It's early and I've not had any conversation. But, we are leaving in an hour for Isaac and Allen's appointment to get their braces on. ahhh....I should eat I guess LOL. I do have my Curves clothes packed and my crocheting. I'll be good to go!

So many great pictures and these gas station ones are a laugh! When you run out of posers why not use your foot, Amy would be proud! Looks like you all had a blast albeit a tiring one at times for the Mom. I do think it's an excellent idea to wait on starting school until things settle down. Enjoy the girls and Mike's time with you and then find your routine sometime next month.
