Day 30 - July 14, 2007

Moto Lotto: Jared wins.

Quote of the Day: Stacia emphatically states "Git OUT!" after 12 1/2 hours in her car seat.


There was a point in the day when Mike suggested we could make it all the way home yesterday - but we couldn't. We were tired......Kristine we cut off I25 through Raton, NM (the right hand corner of NM) and into the panhandle of TX.


Met Ken, Lynn, and Matt; Frances; and Kristine and Trevor at 8 a.m. at McDonold's in Monument, CO. What a fun time of catching up. Ken and Mike are discussing a Souther CO camping trip in the "near" future. We also began to dream of a trip up the alcan together. Thanks so much for your fun-loving, flexible spirits which allowed meeting off I-25 possible.

Drove all day. Got into lunch BEHIND a hoarde of boyscout troops.
Pike's Peak (camera doesn't do it justice)

Scenery is changing....home is nearing
Raton, NM

Capulin, NM

What do you do with roads like this?

Pretend they are roller coasters!

::snicker:: Obviously, you haven't seen MY picture yet of the two of us together! And I figured out that you took that Pikes Peak pic at Garden of the Gods Rd. :)

The scenery does change drastically down south, doesn't it? I tend to think of it as changing right to flat desert, but I forget the hills, scrub, green.

CUTE about the roller coaster. The other kids have been great about helping to divert Stacia when she's just had enough. I'd love to see a video of her and Zander when they finally get back home, going back into the house and all.

Oh good....I didn't think you'd blur out Kristine :)

You look like you are feeling much better! Are you ready to be home? This has been a LONG trip!

OH, De'Etta, I'm sure Stacia was just vocalizing what everyone was feeling. It is tough on the little ones that have to sit in car seats! Oh the days of lolling around in the back of the station wagon...that's how we used to travel! Made our road trips so much easier.

God speed as you finish your journey.

I felt MUCH better on this day...then not so hot again.....but MUCH better than the day I met with Cindy. LOL

Oh - if only I knew how to blur myself out like Kristine did. ::snort:: We could have a group photo with everyone blurred out - that would work. LOL
