Tom and I are taking Aly on her first big road trip. While South Padre Island Texas is our primary destination, we're taking the "long" way to get there. We'll cross through New Mexico to Arizona where we'll visit friends and National Parks before crossing back through New Mexico to Texas. In Texas, we'll visit family on our way down to South Padre Island where we will spend most of our time. On the way home from South Padre Island, we'll visit more family in Texas and Oklahoma before crossing back through New Mexico into Colorado. We expect to be traveling about 2 months.
