My husband and I spent a little over a week traveling from Texas to Nevada and I am so glad we made this trip. We were planning to head all the way out to Los Angeles, but didn't realize it was the same weekend as the NBA All-Star Game...hotel prices were out of control...more than they normally are.
We stopped in little towns along the way for snacks and gasoline...
(notice the bullet holes?)
Our first stop in New Mexico was Roswell...
They take their alien reputation very seriously, no?
...even the local credit union.
We continued up to Route 66 since we planned to spend the night in Albuquerque...
...ate a couple of burgers, gambled a bit, then we were off to Arizona...
Surprisingly, one of our favorite stops was in Flagstaff, AZ. They had the cutest, historic downtown area and many kitschy diners & shops. We stopped there for the night and had an amazing dinner at a local restaurant & pub. I'll have to go back some day...when I can drink...ha!
After morning coffee and a delicious breakfast at the Galaxy Diner, we had a bit more driving to do to reach the Grand Canyon...
...part two of our road trip to the Grand Canyon and Vegas coming tomorrow!
OK, those pictures of Roswell are AWESOME. Did you buy any UFO souvenirs? Can't wait to see your pics from Arizona!
ReplyDeleteNo...we didn't get any souvenirs on our trip at all...but tons and tons of pics. It was difficult to sort through :0)
