Across the Country 1 last time.......Part II

This was part of the trip we were dreading.

Texas takes forever to cross, nearly 1000 miles across!

California in roughly 800 miles from top to bottom!

This was at the rest stop right at the boarder. The biggest start I've ever seen!

One great thing about rest stops outside of California, is all the nice facilities. They keep them up and this particular one in Texas had a playground and museum. It was super nice and we stayed for a bit so the kids could stretch their legs.

They were definitely happy to be out of the car.

Finally getting closer and out of Texas

Call me crazy, but seeing this cracked dirt and not swampy mush was awesome. It's actually kind of pretty. 

A tiny sand storm, but boy was it windy.

Finally! Closer to Cali!!!!

We stopped in Tucson and ate at my favorite restaurant,
then went back to the AF base and let the kids play for a bit. Then it was back on the road!

We did Arizona in 1 day. We were getting the itch and it made for a shorter last day.
