Migration North ~ Day 1

So a lot has happened since my last post. We finished packing!! You don't realize how many things you have when everything is put away. And then you start packing and the drawers and cabinets seem to magically refill themselves. With all of our large furniture gone, we had to improvise:

Philip helped out a lot with packing. He even volunteered to pack himself. ;)

We are currently in transit to Idaho. We left Plano, TX this morning and are staying at a Holiday Inn Express in Colorado Springs, CO. I'm anxious to see what the city looks like in the daylight. My mom said it is a beautiful city.

A brief recap of our trip so far:

As we were heading to Wichita Falls, TX, we stopped at Catfish O'harlies and had, well, catfish. ;) It was really really good!

It started raining in Dalhart, TX (close to the Texas/New Mexico border), so we decided to stop and grab dinner at a Dairy Queen. The rain dispersed fairly quickly so it had stopped by the time we were done. As we were getting back on the road we saw the most vivid rainbow each of us had ever seen.

New Mexico was very flat with some random mountains here and there. I decided to get a little creative with my photography and take a picture of the side mirror to see some of the mountains and low lying clouds in the background. I think the bike wheel gives it a nice touch too. :P

The final picture is our first glimpse of the Rockies! They still have snow on the top. Soooo pretty!

We really do have such a beautiful country. I'm looking forward to the second day of driving tomorrow. :)

Night ya'll!
