Wednesday morning we bid a sad farewell to Mark and Star and the cousins and drove away. We were heading back to Arkansas. I know, you wonder why. That's another post for another day. You know, once I catch up on the last 3 weeks of blogging!
Anyway, we had 4 days of driving scheduled. Me and 5 kids in a van. Whoopee. It went remarkable well. Star had an awesome tire guy who checked out my tires and swapped the rear ones- turned the insides to the outsides- and that made a huge difference. Much less vibration in the car. (He also mentioned that new shocks would be even more beneficial.) So we were crusin, happy to be about done with most of our travels.
We drove through Needles, CA. Yikes! It was an oven out there! I would have to say that 109 degrees of dry heat is pretty miserable. 95 degrees of humid, Nola heat is about on par, just different kinds of misery! We drove to Gallup, NM the first night.
We had a shorter drive, and ended in Texas the second night. The GPS didn't really know where our hotel was, so we spent 20 minutes looking for it. Just about the time we figured out where it was, we saw this rainbow Can you see the rainbow in the picture? It is hard to see, but it was very much there in real life.
The third day we drove to Oklahoma. Hooray!
