    Thank you. Awesome pics.

    How was the drive to Vegas? I am not a big city guy, but I would enjoy the drive out west.

    The drive was just over 20 hours there and 20 hours back. We did it with 4 people in a Highlander so we were comfortable.

    There were stretches in New Mexico and Northern Arizona that it seemed like the country went on forever.
    Once you got out there, the gas stations/ restrooms/ occupied buildings were few and far between.

    We passed through a bunch of small cities, but Boulder City (Nevada) and Flagstaff (Arizona) both seemed to be pretty cool.

    We saw some wild Bighorn Sheep while in Boulder City that were just walking around the highway. I couldn’t snap any pictures of them though because I was driving, but they were neat.

    We tried a couple burrito places in NM and they were HUGE for like $4. Tasted pretty good too.

    We were told by some friends we met up with to not even try the Tex-Mex/ Mexican food in NM as being from Texas we would have thought it was not good.

    We decided to play it safe and hit up some chains near the hotel, but there were some really cool looking joints along the drive.

    Those seem to always be hit or miss though. Either it’s gonna be the best you ever had, or your not gonna even be able to get back on the road because you can’t get off the toilet lol. I will usually play it pretty safe/ bland while traveling.

    When you said you went to Italy, I figured you were just driving south on I-35 from Waxahachie.
