Continued from Albuquerque Day 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLast day of our family summer road trip, whole day will be devoted to travel. We had originally booked a hotel about 2\/3 of the way from Albuquerque to Austin in Sweetwater, TX. But seeing how the kids are doing pretty well on these longer driving days, we made the decision a few days ago to cancel our hotel reservation and just push on driving for the whole day. RL and me both feel great about this decision. We are just tired of being in a hotel room with kids, and especially if we are staying in a town just purely for the sake of spending the night.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDefender in its most natural environment, a Starbucks parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRoughly 12 hours of traveling, let’s fucking go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSurprisingly good road trip radio station on spotify based off of ymca song.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHistoric Route 66 eh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nGas station stop, has a Popeye’s chicken, I guess we’ll get something here for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRL’s turn driving. My wife looks hot driving this car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDoh, construction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nClose to the Texas border. I wonder how many people drive across the border to shop at these dispensaries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere are so many dispensaries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWait, there’s a camera out? Pose!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nPose again!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLast dispensary before Texas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCloser to home, but no where close to home.<\/p>\n

\"\"I think if we hadn’t cancelled our hotel room, we would have stopped before this time. That would suck, to be so close to home but yet having to spend another night away from home. Such a good idea that we cancelled our stop over in Sweetwater, TX.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe car’s nav thinks will get back at almost 3am. It’s wrong, I think we are scheduled to be back at around 9pm.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMore gas stops. Kids are doing pretty well considering that we are just driving straight through.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe can breath easier now in this more reasonable altitude.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nJust broken pieces waiting to fall off and hit another car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nDinner?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAfter that very very long day, finally back! I feel jetlagged.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n2282.9 miles later, we shall declare the Colorado Road Trip a great success. Finally got to tackle my personal bucket list of driving a car across one of those Colorado mountain passes. Oh yeah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
