Day 12, Thursday, September 5, 2019 Today was an eventful day. It all started with hitting the road at 7:30am to head to LAX to pick up Carm. Of course, her flight decided to land half an hour early and since it is rush hour in CA, what could have been a 1 hour and …

Are We There Yet?
Day 11, Wednesday, September 4, 2019 Today was a VERY long day of driving and a bit stressful as well. Overall, we ended up driving around 500 miles today and made it through all the mountains, desserts and detours that were in our way. It all started at 8:06am and we didn’t get to the …
A Day of Rest
Day 10, Tuesday, September 3, 2019 Today was a nice quiet day. Our total driving distance was 5 miles. We decided to take a break from the Route 66 trip and take a trip up to the Grand Canyon. I am loving the journey on the Route, but I have to admit that it was …
“Of course I herd o’ cattle!”
All too quickly, we had to say goodbye to our Wigwam. It was quaint and cozy, but we must be off to see quite literally bigger things. Today we head to Williams, AZ where we’ll be staying for TWO WHOLE NIGHTS! Tomorrow, we’ll be taking a train up to the Grand Canyon and it’ll be …
Petrificus Totalus!
Day 8, Sunday, September 1, 2019 So much for a “short” day. We only had 90 miles to go to get from Gallup, NM to Holbrook, AZ. Granted, we had a few hours this evening to relax (thankfully I was able to get at least two entries completed). This morning we actually had breakfast in …

Saturday, August 31, 2019 (Day 7) A short mileage day, only went about 195 today. The day began with a quiet walk through downtown Albuquerque to grab some breakfast. The loud shenanigans of last night were over and we were some of the only people out and about. The Standard Diner was pleasant for breakfast, …
Really…? Santa Fe?
Day 6 (Friday, August 30, 2019), made it from Tucumcari, through Santa Fe and to Albuquerque with enough time to write a proper entry. Before I begin, I do have one question. Why do Broadway musicals think Santa Fe is THE place head west destination? Newsies and Rent both have songs about heading west to …
So Much To See!!!
Well, I had every intention of trying to keep up with our journey on a daily basis, but it has been jam packed. I’m not sure whose task is harder – the driver or the navigator. It has been a constant journey of left turns, right turns and u-turns. This is the first day where …
Gettin’ Our Kicks
Welcome! This will eventually be an ongoing journal of my adventures both near and far, but to kick things off it will be a recording of a simple road trip. One mother, one daughter, one PACKED Honda CRV and 2500 miles of open road. To anyone who wants to join us along that great highway …
