Okay, so the road trip finally came to an end. The kids were so good for the entire 22 hour drive! I had no incidents of melt downs due to them being over tired or anything like that. We drove through Arizona where we slept at my brother's inlaw's house. The kids had a good time there.
I found Flagstaff to be quite beautiful, but other than that Arizona did not appeal to me. New Mexico has some beautiful buttes, but it is not really my style either. Texas - well the state is so large that it is tough to have an opinion of Texas as a whole. So, I'll say that I love the Frisco/McKinney area which is where my little family has landed. Our house is just outside of the main city of Frisco. We are five miles away from a HUGE mall, but not so close that we will have to deal with the traffic.
The kids LOVE the new house and haven't even really noted having no pool. They are just glad to be in Texas and Zack is looking forward to starting school in two weeks. This kid learned his alphabet by sight and sound in a week. He also would rather flip through magazines than children's books. He picks out so many things with great detail. I could be wrong, but I think he's going to be a natural in the classroom.
When we were about 4 hours from Frisco, we had a funny experience. Mike's car and Steph's car were having a dance off as we were in the caravan. So, they would drive by each other and dance it up. The kids were rolling!!! Well at one point Drew, waved Mike over wanting him and the kids to come and see them dance. When Mike got close, Steph started dancing away somewhat "out" the window shaking it like a Polaroid picture. Jerry didn't know about the dance off so he thought they were waving him and his truck off the freeway!!!! We all ended up at a gas station in the middle of Nowhere, Texas. Drew has his stereo going with the doors open and we were all dancing a jig as my mom would say. It was fun, and also the first time I saw Stepha smile since we left CA!
For those who like to fill in blanks, nothing about the dance off was unsafe or hazardous to any body in the cars.
Here are a few pics from the trip:
