California or Bust

So After 3 very long days we have arrived in California. Our journey is cataloged below...

January 1st - Left Memphis, TN, drove through Arkansas, stopped for dinner in Texarkana, spent night in Mt. Pleasant, TX

















My pitiful attempt at taking a picture of the Texas state line


Day 2 - Left a 6:45 am, stopped in Arlington to visit, Abilene to eat lunch and El Paso for dinner, and finally arrived in Benson, Az at 11:30 pm (MST). 18 hrs of driving and lots of crazy things seen along the way.








Cowboy's Stadium









Our tire getting patched in Arlington








Windmills in Texas, Yippee for Green Energy, plus they were pretty







Finally in Sunny California!!








The little black specks are dune buggies zooming up and down the sand dunes, there was some big gathering of them







Sunset over the San Diego Harbor



What a Crazy Trip, here is a list of the interesting, cool, and extremely crazy things we saw along our drive:
  • 2 Presidential home towns - Hope, AK and Midland, TX
  • A man walking a Goat on a leash in downtown Arlington
  • A man riding a Horse on the side of I-20 just outside of Arlington
  • Snow along the highway
  • A large bloated dead cow alone in a pasture
  • Pretty Windmills
  • Tumbleweeds
  • A Shooting Star (the first one Barrett had ever seen)
  • The Slutty town of El Paso (this involves a good story that you'll have to ask me about)
  • CALIFORNIA and our 1st sighting of the PACIFIC OCEAN!
