McNeely Road Trip Adventure, Day 1

We set out on our first real road trip yesterday. The furthest we have ever driven, since having kids, was 7 hours. Thursday we set out for California!


All packed up and ready to go!!!

Sleeping, and making sure the back pack, full of goodies, doesn't go too far

Our only tourist stop of the day was Cadillac Ranch on Amarillo, which was our final destination for the day.  Kevin and I had been before and knew that this time we were going to bring spray paint to leave our mark.  Macey and Xander picked their color of spray paint and off we went.  They thought it was pretty fun to see cars in the ground and enjoyed seeing their names on them.

Macey and Xander are true road trippers.  They did SOOOO good!  They napped during their normal nap time and talked and played the rest of the time.  We didn't even have to get out the portable DVD players on day 1!  So happy to still have some "new tricks" up my sleeve.  Day 2 will take us to Gallup, NM.  Today we get to stop in Albuquerque for some fun, I'll post pictures tonight!!!
