exerted from the team's travelogue:
Notes from the Road: TC to AZ February 2011
1. Don't let Dad drive at night in the winter. He's not a good driver. Fairly dangerous in fact.
2. Is it necessary to leave at 0300 on the first day?
3. McDonalds with a play area is actually OK on a road trip especially when it's rainy and cold out (shhh don't tell anyone).
4. Days inns are nice except maybe not the one in downtown Albuquerque.
5. It can get really really windy in north Texas. Crazy windy. Note the massive wind farms and the rest areas with tornado shelters.
6. The jetta is not a race car so don't drive it like one cause it won't like it.
7. Oklahoma and New Mexico are humongous states and take forever to drive through.
8. Maybe stop at the Presidential library in Springfield, IL next year?
9. Carter can play checkers, solitaire and tetris all day.
10. Jameson will take a nap on a 5 minute trip in town but not on a 16 hour cross-country trek.

Eeeewwww- we know of your Albequerque Days Inn. Scary! We also had a frightening hotel stay there but next door.
And, we too, are leaving at 3 am. Yes- it is necessary! :)
See you soon!
You should have let me know your Abq dates- my parents have plenty of room for weary travelers and they aren't nearly as scary as the Days Inn. 3 AM departures are the best!
