Happy New Year!

A quick note from the cross country road trip to say Happy New Year! We spent Christmas in Virginia with my family and New Year's in Memphis with Dave's family. We hit the road tomorrow, making a break for California. We're stopping in Amarillo to check out the Big Texan restaurant ( featured on the Travel channel's Man vs. Food for its 72oz steak plus side salad, dinner roll, and cocktail shrimp), Winslow, AZ, ( Canyon Diablo Crater and Rt 66 Diner), the Grand Canyon, and hopefully some intriguing roadside attractions.

Be sure you see the "sculpture" of a row of old Cadillacs planted nose end in the desert just west of Amarillo! They are on the south side of the highway...you'll go right by them! You are now kind of following the old "Mother Road" -- route 66...which still exists much of the way.

Too bad you didn't go farther south, but in a future trip, you'll want to explore the ghost town of Shakespeare, NM (down near Lordsburg).
