"Hastings, We Have Lift Off"

With the 12-hour excursion from Hastings to Amarillo behind us, the longest leg of the journey is over. Both Raija and Regen were great! Raija had one meltdown around Dodge City, but I believe we are each entitled to at least one meltdown for every 12 hours stuck in the car. We left Hastings with temps in the high 30's and found Texas at 87 degrees. I don't think the Hastings daily high temperature has sniffed the 80's since mid-August!

Well, we are now settled in here in Amarillo and will enjoy time with Breann's family until Monday morning, when the Griswolds hit the road for Lubbock. Maybe I should pay those old campus parking tickets while I'm there. ...nah.

I will get some Amarillo pictures up sometime Sunday afternoon. -Ty
