Okay so now that that is out of the way -- let's get to the fun! Day six was our trip from Kingman to Albuquerque! This was one of the days I was really looking forward to because my dear sweet friend Jessica (( Jessica Lynn Writes )) is from there and told me a few things out the area!
The drive here there was beyond beautiful! I could totally see why people love this area so much. Dan and I both agreed that we could totally live in the Northern Arizona/New Mexico area. Of course we say that when it's not middle of summer lol.
So I am a little bit sad because one of the things I was really really looking forward to was seeing all the hotair balloons for the Balloon Fiesta but the night that we got there, there was a some bad weather moving in causing loads of rain and really strong winds! So the balloons were grounded. But the one thing we did get to experience was Papa Felipe's aka the BEST MEXICAN FOOD I HAVE EVER PUT INTO MY MOUTH! OMG you guys if you are EVER in the Albuquerque area PLEASE do yourself a favor and go here! (( I had the stuffed sopapilla, green chile potatoes, and rice ))
Day seven was a short (( thank GOD )) drive to Amarillo. The landscape changed from hilly and through mountains to FLAT FLAT FLAT. The winds were CRAZY pushing my car around. I really had to pay attention to the movement of the car and keep it from veering into other cars/semi trucks a few times (( don't worry Mom, we are okay (; ))
Best part of this trip was Cadillac Ranch!!! I have wanted to see this crazy public art installation since I was in high school and did a paper on it! If you have never checked out the history behind it, I suggest you check it out. It's pretty interesting! And as if fate was on my side there was an unused up can of yellow spray paint there waiting for me to put my mark on it! I was pretty excited about this!
Thanks for the comment! I hope you come back and read along again soon!
