End of Day Two...

Today we made it from Tulsa, OK through Amarillo, TX, Albuquerque, NM and stopped for the night in Gallup, NM which is on the border of New Mexico and Arizona. At lunch time, we ate sandwiches in the car, but we did break down and stop for dinner in Albuquerque at an adorable diner called Owl's Diner. You guessed it, there was owl stuff everywhere! We are enjoying all of the glimpses of Route 66 as we go along.

The scenery has changed so drastically since we left Oklahoma today! We have been surprised by the sudden changes as well, as Texas was basically as flat as a pancake the entire way while New Mexico was very mountainous.

The kids have been wonderful...spending most of their time in the car working in activity books, playing with stuffed animals or watching movies. They have been much more pleasant than I anticipated.

Tomorrow will be an early start so we can arrive at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon by lunch time. Then the REAL adventures begin...
