Flexibility Is Key

We're on the road.

We left Lubbock at 6:30 this evening. Kudos to Mitch (and M & M Tire) for working diligently to get our car to us in time (we really appreciate you). In addition to leaving town a little later than planned, we've already changed our itinerary. Instead of heading to Corona, we're on our way to spend the night with my sister in Tucumcari, NM.

I'm writing this from the road; as I was writing the last sentence my son (aka "the boy") began to shriek. He was standing up in the (very cramped) back seat, doing a dance, and gasping, "Spider! Spider!" After he was able to muster enough courage to smash it (with his hand) we enjoyed our first hearty laugh of the trip.

We'll have dinner at Leal's in Muleshoe, then it's on to Tucumcari.

If you're reading this and you have suggestions or travel tips, I'd love to hear them. Please leave a comment below.
