Day 15 begins in Amarillo, TX driving by an extra large cowboy and cow. I guess everything really is bigger here in Texas.
Even the steaks. Free 72oz. steak...all you have to do is eat it along with some sides in under 1 hour...anyone hungry?
Heading out of Amarillo I saw the street my family is named after.
Cadillac Ranch just outside of Amarillo.
I guess a rancher in Texas thought burying Cadillac's would be a fun thing to do. Don't know if he was trying to grow some newer Cadillac's or just wanted to give kids a place to put their graffiti so it did not end up other places in town. Either way, when on a road trip you have to stop at random places like this because what would road trips be without pictures of random things from around the country?
More time on Route 66 today, and we found the midpoint between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Midpoint cafe...heard they have good pie and cobbler so of course we needed to try some.
Morgan approved of the cobbler, in her own words "soooo good"
Heading in to New Mexico to give the "Land of Enchantment" a little more time than we did playing twister at the four corners earlier in the trip.
Pecos National Historic Park to explore an old pueblo
It was fun to see how they built structures, especially this large one, with the thick walls which help a lot with the heat and cold to keep the inside comfortable...anyone up for using thick mud walls on their next house?
We made it to Santa Fe for the night, and found great place to eat some good New Mexican food which also happened to brew its own beer, so of course we had to try some. The food had a good kick to it, but it was a good kick mixed with great flavors.
We ended the night walking around Santa Fe.
A day filled with a lot of driving, a lot of fun and of course more good food.
Tomorrow more of New Mexico and back into Arizona for the next to last leg of the trip.
