On The Way Home!

Hi, Ya'll!!

We hope this finds you well and happy! We wanted to show you just a few pictures more from our vacation. These were taken on our way home. Just off Interstate 10, is the City of Rocks! It is a fascinating place, and we usually don't get off to take pictures, but this time we did. This first picture reminded us of someone we know and love. (Nichole, don't you think that this could have been a picture of a hippo?) We know, you do have to use your imagination a little, but we thought that it looked just like a hippo with its mouth wide open.
This was just a picture of the rocks that were rising from the earth.

This next picture shows the first thing you see as you come back into the State of Texas. We just like the Texas Star at mile marker 0.

Here we have the welcome sign that greets all as they enter our home state. It was great to be back on Texas soil!

When we checked the trip odometer, we had gone 1600 miles on this vacation! We did a complete circle on this trip! First we went north to Albuquerque, west to Flagstaff, south to Phoenix and Tucson and finally east to El Paso! Many of you probably think we go in circles all of the time, but this time we REALLY did!!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed exploring areas we had not been to before. Ellen returns to school next week, so summer vacation will be officially over. :o( In just a few minutes, we will be leaving the house to go to the movies. We are going to see, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Part 2! We saw Part 1 and enjoyed it.

Until next time. . . . . .
