OK, I've been back for 4 days now. I've been recovering from my vacation, and catching up on work. I think I'm to a point I can get back to work on the SD this coming weekend.

Anyway, I thought I'd post some pics from the trip for you guys. I'd like to thank you guys for the tips on things to do. We never made it to Austin because of the weather, but we did have fun at the Petroleum Museum as you will see in the pictures.

Here we are headed south down the 99 toward Bakersfield.



We drove into the night stopping in Lake Havasu to look at the London Bridge.


After the bridge it was back on the road. these pics are from the rest stop just before the New Mexico border on I-10


Back on the Road again.

Border Patrol check point just past El Paso on the I-20

WE MADE IT to the hotel in Midland. 25hrs on the road! non stop! (other then pee and petrol breaks)

My friend Misty lives in Stanton, just east of Midland, she was our reason to visit. She invited us over for fireworks with her family on the 3rd, and then again with friends on the 4th. lots of fun with fireworks.
Here is Misty.

Here are some fireworks.
