Our destination is Albuquerque, NM, roughly 569 miles, or about 10 hours.
We left early in hopes that the kids would go back to sleep and sleep for a few hours. It didn't quite happen the way we had planned. About 10 minutes into the trip we knew we were in trouble when Sydney asked if "Are we in Texas yet?" It's hard to explain to a 3 year old that we have a 20 to 22 hr drive to our final destination.
We got to Albuquerque, NM about 4pm and checked into our hotel. We stayed in the Wyndham hotel right by the Airport. We had a hard time getting the right steet into the hotel, but we had a very nice lady that pulled over and offered for us to follow her to the hotel.
We went out to find something to eat and it appeared that each turn got us further and further into the getto. We finally found a Wendy's and decided it was going to have to do.
After dinner we went swimming. Ryan refused to get into the pool. He's gotten deathly afraid of the water for some reason. So Ryan sat on the side of the pool while the rest of the family had fun in the water.
