Arriving in Newport

Does that sign seriously say 9 miles to Newport, 15 miles to Canada? Wow, we're literally ON the border this time!
And we've arrived!

A few more road trip pics

So after our major setback...we really werent leisurely traveling anymore. it was all about making up the time...so that meant no stopping for pictures. So we only have these few more from traveling...

"Are We There Yet?"

"Did you not see the Do Not Disturb Sign?"



Best Friends... They Slept Like this most of the way
Driving through the Bible Belt.
Trying to get some much needed rest..

Bad Gas...and We're Not Talking Taco Bell...

So we stop for some gas on our FIRST night traveling back east and I run in to get some snacks and when I come out our truck is in the middle of the parking lot and wont start. I first I thought Sean was joking, I mean we just bought this truck and it only and barely 2000 miles on it! Yup, it was dead. So on this late Saturday night with nothing open, we got towed 2 miles to the nearest hotel were we stayed until the next day. Where we had to be towed 150 MILES!!! to Amarillo, TX...the NEAREST Toyota dealership. Mind you Pinky's towing doesnt allow pets in the cab with the driver...so Jasmine and Hannah had to ride on the flat bed for these 150 miles... Of course, you know this made me extremely nervous so we finally convinced the driver (with the help of $50) to let Sean travel in the Tundra with the girls to Texas... To make a REALLY REALLY long story short, Monday afternoon the Toyota dealership drained 15 gallons of BAD gas from our Tundra. It was basically 15 gallons of water. So they fixed the truck and we were finally on our way again...2 1/2 days later....

The Scene of the Crime... Allsup's Conveniece Store/Phillips 66, Tucumcari, New Mexico.
