Part II Day 3

No good storms to chase today. 
We just chill and have a slow start to the day. 

Breakfast in Oklahoma 

I take a walk before we leave. I find a Southern Magnolia tree. I just love Magnolias! 





Head into Texas... not a super long drive. Susanna and I switched seats in the Van.

We get to our next hotel. Going to stay here two nights! Woot! That will be nice. 

We have dinner at Cracker Barrel. The boys get to talk to Roger Hill during dinner. He explained his methods to them. Which makes them very excited about the rest if the trip. 
After dinner we head to Cadillac Ranch. It's cool. All of us taking different photos. There are a bunch of spray paint cans there for us to paint with. 

              Ohhhh, Susanna!

          Our crazy group! 

It's getting darker, we seem to all gather around Adam.. He's at the first car, writing Fuck Cancer...

I'm capturing Adam doing this as Tara is capturing it all. After Adam finishes writing Fuck Cancer, he turns around and just breaks down crying. He cries as he walks to me, we just hug and cry .....

We haven't broke down together about the cancer. Always trying to be strong for each other. Who would have thought that there would be emotion and spiritual healing at Cadillac Ranch during a storm chasing trip. But there was. G-d is good. 

I also grabbed Daniel. And the three of us had a long family group hug. (Pic to follow soon)

Back at the hotel we go over some charts and hang for a bit. 
Tomorrow is another low key no storm day. So we will be sightseeing at Palo Duro Canyon

Day 2

Image
 Day 2 We head out really early in the AM. Went to Safe Way, got cheap cooler, Ice and some items for a picnic lunch.  It is chilly out, we have our jackets on. Then we head to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I've been there a couple of times before. Really needed to share it with the kids.  It never fails, they scare the crap out of me... We walk a ways on the trail, we meet a bunch of really nice people along the way. The Canyon is just beautiful, sun shining it's pretty spectacular  we work up an appetite  It ended up being another long day. Spent about 7 hours in the Canyon, then drove to Page. The Scenery on the Way to Page was incredible too.  Adam said.... "When you think it can't get any better it does" The weather has been great. Oh, we did notice that we all were a little winded ... the altitude was getting to us a bit.  We are all pretty exhausted . I believe we are going to stay an extra day/ night in Monument Valley. We shall see. ...

Part II Day 7 & 8

Image
 We take a slow ride from Abilene to Amarillo Texas. I call it abandoned house searching.  ww did make a stop at CapRock Canyon too.  How beautiful it is here.   As we are exiting the park we get to see some Buffalo!   The cactus are in bloom too! It takes us quite while to go from Abilene to Amarillo.  But, that is ok, we have a lot of fun taking photos.   The next day we go from Amarillo to Denver. We drive straight though with one very cool stop at It looks like the Badlands  It is pretty warm out, we all enjoy the formations and walking around here.  Next stop Denver... we're going to the same hotel we started in. They have a salt water pool.  We can't wait!   We have dinner first...  so excited about the pool.  We get back and change.  I get this from Dan....  ...

Part II Day One

Slept in till 8 AM. Had breakfast,  then started getting the car ready to return .  Put all our luggage on a cart and took it to the hotel next door. Everything worked out smoothly.  The shuttles etc.  Back at the hotel we get our rooms, then I enjoy the salt water pool. Our informational meeting is at 6pm.  We have it meet all the other people on the tour.  Our driver actually knows the people who owned the camp grounds when the kids were little.  Small world.   Good night. Long day ahead of us
