Tucson, AZ May 29-31

We stopped here for some rest. It is about 1/2 way between Carlsbad and Moorpark. The pool was awesome!

Rest Day.....

Stroud, OK May 23-24

The motel in Stroud was OK. The pool was closed until Memorial Day Weekend. But we did some super fun stuff. On Sunday, we went to Oklahoma City. My mom and Aunt Kathy went to the Oklahoma City Memorial while my dad took Hunter and me to Frontier City! It's a big amusement park with lots of roller coasters and stuff.











On Monday, we took pictures with the owner of The Rock Cafe. She was the inspiration for the porsche in "Cars." We also got to see fire flies!! We just went out behind the hotel in the bushes and there were a ton of them. Sorry, no pictures!













We then went to the golf course and played golf with a friend of Uncle Jeff's (Percy) and his brother JT showed up to ride along. It was a lot of fun but very hot! We then went back to the "Office" and hung out.

Yukon, OK to Stroud, OK May 22

We left early to catch up with the riders. We went to place called "Pops". I did not think I would like it but it had hundreds of differents kinds of soda pop! We also watched Uncle Jeff get interviewed by a TV channel.

After breakfast, we drove to Chandler, OK for lunch. People in the restaurant knew who Uncle Jeff was!

We then drove to a winery in Stroud. A whole bunch of people were waiting for us! My little brother and I got to ride in with my dad and Uncle Jeff. We then rode the last mile with them, in front of the parade. It was cool.

Oklahoma countryside

Shamrock, TX to Clinton, OK May 20

Yanked out of bed early, we tried to catch up daddy and Uncle Jeff at the Oklahoma border. We took Route 66 and they ended up on the highway so me missed them. We continued on to a small town with no restaurants. So we ended up at a fast food place called Sonic. Never been to one before. I really don't like fast food places but my brother, Hunter had a hamburger. I tried the shake... We ended up in the car all day staying close to the bike riders. Route 66 was very bumpy so mom could not do any home schooliong in the car (she gets car sick). So we just commented on how green everything was. We got to the hotel right after the riders; we took Route 66 into town and the hotel is not on Route 66. We did not wait to check in; we went right to the pool to swim. Fun!

Amarillo, TX to Shamrock, TX May 19

We went to the Discovery Museum in Amarillo. It was a lot like the one we visited in San Francisco but smaller. They had a lot of hands on activites and a planetarium show. The show was about the solar system, our planets and the stars. We stayed all morning and then headed east, again. We memorized more state capitals and then played a word game. One person had to see something as we drove. The next person had to find something else that started with the last letter of the word that last person said. It was very fun and before we knew it, we were at our hotel. We swam in the pool for a while.

Amarillo, TX May 18

Rest Day!
We stayed at the hotel. We finished our school work and then swam in the pool.

Tucumcari, NM to Amarillo TX May 17

Today, we drove into Texas. We stopped at the Cadillac Ranch (some guy buried 10 cadillacs in the ground). I decided not walk out and I'm glad I did. My brother came back covered in mud! We found the hotel and immediately went swimming.

Santa Rosa, NM to Tucumcari, NM May 16

Well, today we tried to find some awesome swimming hole called the Blue Hole. We kind of got lost and ended up at some state park (Santa Rosa Lakes State Park). Not the right place. We finally found some place to swim in town but the water was super cold.

Do we drove to the hotel. On our way, we did some school work and memorized state capitals. We checked into the hotel and we watched TV. We stayed in a really old hotel on Route 66 but it was neat.
