Hello from Amarillo, TX!!
May 27th, 2008 by justsimplyholly
Good evening everyone! Arrived in Amarillo, Texas safe and sound about 2 hours ago! After hauling in the necessities from the car, we chilled for a few minutes, cleaned up and headed out to one of the best Mexican Restaurants I think I’ve ever eaten at! The food was fantastic, the service was awesome and they were so taken back by the fact that there was a car in their parking lot from Ohio that we even got a free dessert…LOL! Then it was a quick trip to the drug store for a few things that were left behind and some car fuses, then I had to do a quick car repair in the parking lot and now we’re back at the hotel for the night!
I tell you, the past 24 hours have been totally AMAZING! We left NW Ohio at about 8:30 last night and drove straight through until we got to Amarillo tonight. From the time we left until shortly after the sun came up the road conditions and weather were perfect, but shortly after sunrise we started hitting some scattered showers that lasted on and off most of the day. I was driving through the Ozarks in Missouri when the sun came up and I think we had rain on and off from there through Oklahoma. But it was so pretty and I got to see somet things that I haven’t yet seen in my lifetime. I got to see the St. Louis arch, the hills/mountains of the Ozarks, the outsskirts of Tulsa and Oklahoma City and the praries in the panhandle of Texas.
I’ve taken a few pictures, but not as many as I’d have liked to, but I’m simply too tired to upload them tonight, so that will have to wait until tomorrow night when we stop for the night in Flagstaff, AZ. Allso, I remembered that I hadn’t said anything about this. I am updating my location fairly regularly from my cell phone through Twitter, so if you’d like to follow my trip feel free to hop over to my Twitter page and watch for my updates there!
In the mean time I need to get some sleep, I’ve been up since 6:00 yesterday morning minus a 1 hour and a 45 minute power nap…LOL! So I’m completely exhausted, to say the least! I’ll stop in in the morning if I have the time and say hello, but if not I will update through Twitter!
Good night from the great State of Texas!!
