Travel Tuesday - Getting to New Mexico

 
On Saturday, January 15th, Mama packed us(and a bunch of other stuff) into the Rogue and we took off for New Mexico.
 
 
 Unlike other road trips, this one was mostly driving "to get there." It had been a long time since we had all seen Daddy, and we were more than ready to start our new adventure!
 
We did try to make sure Mama stopped to enjoy some of the journey, though.
 
For instance, we have passed this restaurant lots of times when we  traveled south on Interstate 5 in California. Mama always said she wanted to stop and take pictures of it. This time, we made sure she stopped because we didn't know when we would be there again. 
 
"Why would she want to stop here?" you might ask....
  
 Because it's the only wind mill Mama has ever seen in California.
 BOL!!!!
 
 
Sunny offered to drive when Mama got back in the car.  Unfortunately, she doesn't have her driver's license, so Mama said no.
 
  
After we left California, the rest of the drive was on I-40, which runs parallel to(and sometimes merges with) Highway 66.
 

 Rosy has made lots of stops along the historic part of Route 66, but on this trip she was in a big hurry to see Daddy(we hadn't seen him in 2 weeks). 
You can visit Rosy's last Route 66 post HERE

 
 We stopped at some very pretty Rest Areas
 
 
 and spent lots of time on the open road!
 
....and after asking "Are we there yet?" like a million times....

 
We finally arrived in New Mexico!!
 
We are looking forward to showing you all around our new state. But first, Mama says she has a bunch of unpacking to do(Our furniture should be here today!!). So we'll be showing you things from around our temporary home and backyard.
 
But don't worry, soon we'll get to see(and show you) just how enchanting the Enchanted State is!!
