Day 2

 
We actually slept until 7:30ish, grabbed breakfast at Mickey D’s(except for Devin, who of course, politely refused and had cereal from the pantry of the RV) We crossed into Texas before 10:00 am, ate lunch in Amarillo, and crossed into New Mexico around 2:00pm, but then  promptly gained an hour, make that 1:00pm.
Dinner was at a picturesque Outback Steakhouse in Albuquerque, NM. The red mountains peeked down at us through the maze of buildings and trees. We knew we needed to press onward, so we drove into the night, following I-40 West (which now seems like our only familiar landmark, having been on this same highway since the “turn” in Oklahoma City.)We made our beds down about 150 miles west of Albuquerque at a truck stop just west of the continental divide. Michael and I grabbed a refreshing shower in the RV. Man, for it’s size, it has great hot water. It felt soooo good. The boys and I strapped ourselves in(we have special harnesses so we can sleep while Michael is driving.) turned on a DVD, and Michael drove off into the night with Flagstaff as our destination for a stopping point for the night.
