We’re on the road to Durango, CO to see our friend Kelly and take a much needed vaca. This is our first vacation since we started our new life without credit cards. I mention this because the cheapest hotel in Durango Kay could find was ninety dollars a night. We thought about camping a few nights to offset the cost and in researching Kay found that KOA has little cabins for only ten dollars more than camping. So, we’re staying at the KOA each night. This cut our lodging costs more than in half!Today we drove to Lubbock. Seemed like a good half way point. We’ll see if my logic holds up tomorrow. I’m concerned that driving in the mountains might be slower than driving in the flats of west Texas. I’ll tell you all someday about the time
we drove through Maine from upstate New
York. Let me just say if you’re driving in Maine double your time estimates.Our first adventure was in the front yard. Mackenzie decided today was a good day to see what cactus felt like. Needless to say it did not go well. She got three quills in her hand. After pulling them out and much kissing them better we got on the road.
The next adventure was Bella discovering she could open the cooler. After a couple pieces of ice I convinced her to leave it closed.
Since we were going right by we stopped in Merkel to see my parents for a little bit.
We were doing so well on time I decided we could slide by Tahoka to take some pictures with Mack. She was not nearly as excited as her Daddy about being in Tahoka. The si
gnificance of Tahoka is that when we were eighteen my best friend Marc and I were on the way to New Mexico with his Mom when we drove past a sign that said Tahoka. Thinking it was a hilarious name we ran with it. We did this bit all through college. Every email ended with some kind of Tahoka reference. Holy Tahoka Batman. Kiss my white Tahoka. Merry Tahoka! My personnel favorite was one of Marc’s. Ta ho ho ho ka around Christmas time one year.
