Amarillo, TX

We started our first extended summer adventure today . . . it was a LONG day of driving for me, but my backseat passenger was super! We drove for 8 hours and only stopped one time for lunch! I think my dad was tired of waiting on my kiddo by the time we arrived but was nice for me to focus on the road. Oh and why is the speed limit only 70 on those long, endless roads? Our goal was to arrive some where and spend the night. I had hoped to arrive in Amarillo and see two places! We were successful but what I wasn't expecting was the heat . . . it was only 108 when we arrived around 5:30pm . . . who knows about the heat index!

First Stop: Cadillac Ranch for a little graffiti action . . . Colin had fun but hopefully he understands this is what you are suppose to do here and no where else!




Second Stop: The Big Texan for some juicy beef steak!



We have watched the episode on Man vs Food, and we were lucky tonight as there were two brave souls trying to defeat the meat right next to us . . . they were both unsuccessful. You have 60 minutes to eat a 72 oz top sirloin steak, a baked potato, salad, dinner roll and shrimp cocktail. I don't know how one even attempts to do this but they did . . . if you eat it then the meal is free otherwise you are out about $200!

Moving on tomorrow and hoping for some much cooler weather!!!
