The Road Trip of 2004
Last year we drove to Alaska, then
to the West Edmonton Mall and Yellowstone National Park. This
year we are going the other direction. We are visiting my sister
in Dallas then heading up to Springfield Missouri to visit some
friends, instead of driving straight from Dallas to Springfield,
we are going to go through Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Fort Walton
Beach Fl., Bowling Green Kentucky.
We went over 6000 miles
covering 16 states in 17 days.
Days 1-3: Home (Stockton Ca.) to Ft Worth Texas
This doesn't look like enough snacks to get us to Texas. |
|
 I didn't know that life could
to start this early |
|
 It was a great morning when we left at 6:00 a.m. from Stockton California. |
|
 on I-405 we got postponed by the traffic, due to President Reagan's funeral procession |
|
 We are at the beach by San Diego |
|
 Hunter checking out the wild life by the beach. |
|
 We made it to.......uuuummmmmmm? |
|
 |
|
 The girls watching the Hunter flying show |
|
 Of course we had to keep the tradition of having Dairy Queen when we leave California |
|
 at one of the rest stops in Az. We didn't get on the news here. |
|
 we made it ,to the rest stop |
|
 |
|
 such a drastic scenery change from Arizona to New Mexico....NOT |
|
 then on to Texas |
|
 Since we where in El Paso so close to the Mexican border, we went to a greek restaurant and had pizza, go figure |
|
 time to wash the desert dirt off |
|
 as we headed further into Texas we got stopped at a border patrol check stop. They didn't know that we had smuggled Nicole in from Canada. |
|
 A B1 bomber flew over us as we headed into Fort Worth |
|
 We saw this storm chaser on I-35w as we headed into the Ft Worth area. They had been under severe weather for the 3 days prior to us getting there. |
