Texas Forever, and Ever, and Ever

After we left San Antonio we had lost a bit of our lust for the open road.  We had one thing on our schedule..pick Karly up at the airport in Phoenix on Saturday the 19th. 
I had this idea that coming out of San Antonio we would follow the Mission Trail and soak up a bit of history.


At the first mission, Kristen got out with me to explore and pose for a picture.
At the second mission I got out alone and took a picture.

At the third mission we all just looked out the window as we drove by.
I think our sightseeing days are officially over.

During a lunch stop I realized if we made it to Phoenix on Friday we could catch a Mariners spring training game.  Since we were getting warn out on sightseeing it seemed like a better option to drive the long hours and get out of Texas.
New Mexico loomed just ahead.  We crossed the state line and were stopped for what we assumed was a state inspection station.  I was quite surprised to see the US customs signs and find ourselves being questioned by border patrol.  I am not sure it was such a great time to be touring in Southwestern Texas with my kids.  I was glad to get into New Mexico and one step closer to Arizona and my family.
