The Excitement is Building

Ok. So my family is finally on board (minus the frequent updates on the costs of flights out of Birmingham). This trip is going to be long and tiring, but the things we will see along the way will far outweigh the sleep deprivation and fast food. I've been doing my "research" on Roadside America. We still need to work out the details to figure out where we will be in daylight and what sites we'll have to catch on the way back. The Cadillac Ranch is on the top of my list (just because we can leave our mark), and we will be bringing along Crimson and White spray paint.
There's a few other things that will be interesting to see:

• 2nd largest cross in the western hemisphere in Groom, TX
• Leaning water tower in Groom, TX
• Huge pair of legs in Amarillo, TX
• Atomic cannon in Albuquerque, NM
• Wigwam Hotel in AZ
• Petrified Trees in AZ
• Twin Arrows in AZ

Basically all of the cool things along I-40. Ok, fine. There's the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, all that "cultured" stuff. It seems like there's too much to do. We'll be getting together closer to departure time to finalize our stops and routes.

In other news, I'll be receiving a new pair of pants from the Locker Room for Christmas so I can look snazzy at the game!
