Greetings from Sallisaw, OK

We started our day in Amarillo, TX and we are now in Sallisaw, OK. We are very surprised we were able to get this far today. Our son was being very good in the car. It seems he's getting used to the long car rides. Every so often, we do stop to let him run around and get some of his energy out.

We have had McDonald's during this whole trip and we are a little tired of it! But it is cheap food and very quick. I am already feeling out of shape. I can't wait to workout again! I do try to fit in a few yoga and pilates poses here and there. I don't like eating this unhealthy for so long. I do try to get their fruit salads and yogurt parfaits every so often.

I wrote a total of 5 letters during this trip. I don't think I will write another letter until we get to our final destination. But we'll see.

Area 51

On the way to Las Vegas, we drove by Area 51. My husband and I always start talking about Area 51, UFOs, and aliens whenever we do drive by it. You can't SEE anything from the highway, but it is awesome just to go by it. It always makes me wonder, what is out there in Area 51. What are they hiding!?

Greetings from Las Vegas, NV

We're finally here in Vegas! We started our drive from Carson City, NV at 9:30am. We made a few stops along the way to eat and stretch out a bit. It's not easy traveling with a toddler who wants to play, walk, run, etc. We didn't have a hotel reservation for Vegas so we ended up staying at a hotel we've stayed at the last time we were here in 2004! Back in 2004, we were considering moving here and we took the weekend to check out the area. Instead, it just ended up being a mini-vacation.

Anyway, the room is beautiful! The beds look so comfy and luxurious! We also have free high speed internet access so I am happy about that.

My husband will be checking out hotels.com or any of the other hotel sites for discounts on hotel rooms.

About 30 miles outside of Las Vegas, our gas light came on and we were started to freak out that we wouldn't make it to the gas station. The drive to Vegas is basically desert with a two lane highway. Plus we had our son with us who was getting fussy and wanted to run and play. Luckily, we made it to Durango and made it safely to a gas station!
