On the way at last!

First thing we wanted to do before we left home was celebrate Easter with our entire family at the farm. Everyone came out for dinner and the best part was having everyone together. We also celebrated all the birthdays tht we would miss while we will be gone on our trip.

So, now we're on the road. We've been looking forward to this trip for so long it's hard to believe that we've heading for Las Cruces, NM at last!

It rained almost all day yesterday but I slept through it all since I was up almost all night trying to get the camper packed and the house in order for our house sitters. But, as I write the sun has just come out and the countryside gets greener as we travel southward. The redbuds are in full bloom all along the highway.

Missouri has so many intersting places to visit we will have to come back one day. There are numerous Classic Car showrooms as we parallel the old Route 66 0n I44. And if you like Russell Stover Chocolates there is no shortage of outlets. Looking into a horse "motel" for tonight in Amarillo, TX for tonight.
