Two More Days

We've made it to Oklahoma City.  That's two long days of driving.  A mom, a grandma, two kids.

Flagstaff.  Winslow.  Gallup.  Albuquerque. 

If you belong to The Professor's family, you know about Winslow, Arizona and Route 66.


So we had to stop and take photos for Bapa.

Standin' in Corner in Winslow, Arizona



The Southwest has a beauty of its own.  I love the desert, the rugged mountains, the iron red cliffs of Arizona and New Mexico.









Overnighting in Albuquerque, we visited family to introduce Zoe Grace and Liam in person to great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Another wonderful blessing.

There is just something about Oklahoma.  I love that state.  Maybe it's because it is greener than the Texas Panhandle.  Maybe it's because that song keeps cycling around in my head.  O--KLAHOMA, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain...





Even the tumbling down falling apart abandoned barns are picturesque.

WONDERFUL views, Willow! I love those long skinny shots of the landscape. Your four look pretty happy even after all those miles :-)

Can't believe you and I are channeling each other with our daughters on a road trip all the way across the country! Of course you have 2 grands along the route, too. Love your photos. Another funny thing is that from N.C. I fly to Florida to meet up with Dear in Orlando. You and I need to receive the best driving mom prize for 2014...don't you think? Thank the Lord that we can take the time to help in this way...
