We stopped only twice to get the kids out, stretch out, eat, and take a break the first two days of driving. My mom took the wheel the first two days for about an hour or so to give my eyes a break but for the most part she kept the children happy and fed while I got us to NM!
On day two after a LONG night of kids not wanting to go to bed because they were so tired we ate a free hotel breakfast and set out for another LONG day of driving. We drove about 10 hours on day two and made it to Weatherford Oklahoma!!! Not much to see but I started a game to see how many STates "welcome" signs we could get pictures of. We got every single one BUT Indiana! My mom was in charge of that sign...and well...she wasn't allowed to man the camera after it!! ha ha Just kidding!
The second hotel rocked, a lot more room, and a much better breakfast the next day! We were off with less sleep than the night before and only 7 hours to go! We made it to NM in great fashion with dinner awaiting us and a Daddy to take over!!! ha ha
The three day drive went way better than anticipated...My mom was a HUGE help...and we made it!!! I probably would have had to stop twice as much and a couple days more driving if my mom did not help...so..THANK YOU!!!! I really appreciate the help. Not everyone would volunteer to sit in a car for three days and take care of cranky kids...so truly thank you!
We got some fun pictures a long the way, a lot more than I wanted to upload individually...so take a peek at the scrap book I put together of our trip! :)
