Road Trip

After 1350 miles, 4 days and over 25 hours in the car, we finally made it to our destination: Austin, Texas. We moved with our good friends Phil, Emily and Saira who is one year old. It was a long trip for the babies, but overall they did pretty good. We took four days to break up the time in the car and we were able to make a few fun stops.

750 feet into the Carlsbad Caverns.

Our favorite Carlsbad Cavern tour guide.


Most of New Mexico looks like this. We drove through Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and finally Texas. No offense to any New Mexico lovers, but that state is not so pretty. In fact it's very hot, dry, flat and brown from north to east to south to west. Colorado is a very colorful and beautiful state. Austin is not exactly what we expected. It is very lush and green, almost tropical.
