A car trip with my family means endangered leg room, almost nonexistent pit stops, seemingly non-stop audio books, hilarious games of I Spy in the middle of Arizona and Texas, endless rounds of Rubberneckers, 100% chance of rain, laughter, photos, family, and LOTS of luggage.
Our drive took us through Batten-rouge where we stopped for the night in a hotel, then on to Houston Texas to visit my mother's friend from college and her seven children before arriving at my Uncle's place in San Antonio. We stayed with him and his family for two days, which was all too short, but when it comes to seeing them, it's never long enough anyway.
After our short stay, we drove up to Carlsbad Caverns and then on to our final destination: Telluride Colorado.
See where that little white car is headed? That's where we were trying to go.
Such would be our luck. And might I mention, the train wasn't just passing through. No, it was stopped, two cars away from the end, right in the middle of the road.
My on-going project that I worked on while we listened to Unbroken - a fabulous story that I highly recommend.
While at our cousin's house, we decided to do nails, not realizing it would be a day-long endeavor. I found a new favorite way to do my nails, thanks to Elina's Pinterest knowledge. You dip a straw in the nail polish and blow and it creates awesome patterns. I suggest covering the skin around your nails with vaseline first though, because as you can tell, your nails aren't the only things that get painted.
The road from San Antonio to Carlsbad New Mexico is about as exciting as watching paint dry. We passed the time by playing "I Spy . . ." to which the most common answer was "nowhere" so we eventually changed the game to "I don't spy . . ." That made things interesting.
Candidly,
Cookie
