Day Six

Day six was full of flat lands and wavy flat lands.  I never realized how flat Texas was but also how it has its own sense of beauty.  My step-brother Brandon has joined us after landing a little past midnight the night before.  He has been a welcome addition to our adventure.

We pasted into Texas with very little trouble and I noticed that in New Mexico the land is rocky with cliffs and ledges and piles of rocks and small bushy trees while Texas was nothing but yellow and flat with small bushy shrubs.  You could see for miles and the sky was the biggest I have ever seen.  I never realized the sky could stretch that far.

This was a county we crossed over in Texas.  I missed the sign three times as we drove.  Upon the last time I missed the picture Brandon ended up stopping and backing up so I could get a clear shot of this sign.  I was a little freaked out but also grateful.

As we worked our way to Oklahoma the scenery again changed.  Although everything was still flat it had a bit more depth to it.  The ground would gently rise and fall under our tires.  It was a pleasant change from the nothingness of the flat lands.

We are now in Oklahoma City.  We are going to try and get an early start because there is a winter storm watch for this area tomorrow.  Snow and rain are expected but not until Friday night and hopefully by then we will be safe in Memphis Tennessee.  So far all has gone well and I don't think my higher power would bring us this far just to have us get stuck in really bad weather but just in case we are being really careful.

Because no hotel was booked for tonight we are staying in a Best Western.  A little more pricey but it did come with an indoor pool which Mason loved.  He really enjoyed being out of the car. 

Everyday he gets a little more impatient.  We are doing our best to get to the next spot and I am trying to be patient with him.  He is excited to see Grandpa and I know everyday brings us one day closer to getting to our final destination.
