EIGHT hours driving time makes for a long day with a 2 1/2 year old, a dog, and a pregnant lady. But Daddy Bear was very gracious and stopped anytime we needed and even planned in a fun stop at the Amarillo Zoo. What used to be a free park with caged animals has become a pretty nice "zoo." We had fun seeing the monkeys, tigers, reptiles/amphibians, wallabies, and many other exotic animals for a minimal fee while we stretched our legs about halfway into our trip.
Little Bear did great traveling this first day, but he had no idea how many "Groundhog days" were ahead of him.
We made it to our first destination right at dinner time and picked up food to take to our temporary house for the night at the local air force base. We were pleasantly surprised to have half a duplex all to ourselves, complete with three bedrooms and a backyard to relax in.
With the exception of Mama Bear's sinus infection/cough and pregnancy discomforts and Little Bear's growing cold we had a great end to our first day and first chapter.
I'm loving catching up! So glad you had a house to relax in! And you are ADORABLE!!!
