2009 Road Trip Day 1 & 2











Ashley, Rod & Patty hit the road yesterday at 3 p.m. and traveled up through the Mogollon Rim to Highway 40 and onto to New Mexico. We caught some rain and took a picture of a beautiful rainbow. Ashley smiles as she eats dinner at a NM reststop. Rod buries himself at the Days Inn in Albuquerque, NM our first stop last evening.

Today we traveled throught the panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma and then into Kansas. We saw elk, deer, lots of dead skunks and Patty ran over a very large rattlesnake in Texas. Once we got into Kansas we saw the amber waves of grain and all the huge combines harvesting the wheat.

We are now at a Holiday Inn Express in Andover, Kansas. Rod and Ashley are testing the waters of the indoor pool and Patty is doing this and resting from the long 10 hour drive.

Tomorrow it's the rest of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota arriving in the evening at the Mall of America and 500 shops. Patty is sooooo ready!
