Mornings were always slow but relaxing (mostly due to the not so fun morning sickness stage going on right now. It's supposed to stop at 3 months not start in full swing. But as long as breakfast came quickly ...) The kids loved enjoying those morning cartoons.
Day 2 of our trip we HAD to stop by the Cadillac Ranch. Isn't there a country song that mentions it? It's just this random work of art displayed on the side of the highway. 10 Cadillacs are dug into the ground and graffitied for the world to enjoy. Very random but fun to see and experience.
You can climb, (but do it carefully around these semi-rusted contraptions), spray paint (there was spray paint off to the side that we let the kids spray just to say that they did.), whatever you want to do. I wonder if the rest of the cadillac really is underground. I don't know why it wouldn't be, but there was nothing to say anything about it.
We even discovered that if you turn one wheel, the other wheel turns but in the opposite direction. My dad says that happens on all cars. Did anyone else know that?
And Izzy discovered that if you turn this joint it'll turn both tires, still in opposite directions.=)
We enjoyed this artistic playground. Now 45 mins. down the road is the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument. Off to get our first Junior Ranger badge of the trip.

Looks like you guys had a fun trip! We've been to Cadillac Ranch- it is about 1 hour from where we lived in NM. Pretty random, isn't it?
