We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

We're heading west now! There isn't a lot to see after this. It's been a great time!

Sky right before a twister went through in Grants, NM Palo Duro Canyon outside Amarillo, TX

Cactus flowers blooming everywhere in the canyon



Cadillac Ranch outside Amarillo. Ten cadillacs buried upside dpwn at an angle that people spray paint. It's right off I40.


This is another great AAA ballpark in downtown Oklahoma City. There is a great downtown district with a canal.



Oklahoma City bombing memorial. Very moving!

We were dissappointed in Memphis! Even Beale Street was nothing compared to Lower Broadway in Nashville. There is even a Peabody Hotel with marching ducks in other cities! Branson, MO was fun. Went to a show and had a good time. Northwest Arkansas was beautiful. We had a great time driving through some cute little towns. The Clinton Library in Little Rock, AR was dissappinting. Of all the presidential libraries we have visited, this one was not near as well done.
