We're in Mexico...

After being on the road for 7 days and driving 2490 miles, we pulled into Guadalajara in one piece. The trip was great. Here's an overview of what happened.

We left on Monday, August 6th, the day after Andy and Heather's wedding that Steve performed. We drove for seven hours to visit Nana/Suki/Mom in Normandy, Tenn. We stayed for two nights, and had a chance to swim in 100 degree heat, play "5 Crowns," watch Cole catch a fish completely by himself, and eat steak. We left early on Wednesday headed for Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Typical for the long drive down.
August 8th, after driving 11 hours, we pulled into Tulsa, OK to visit Aunt Jess and Uncle Josh. We spent two nights hanging out where we swam, played at a park and ate Lasagna.
Entertaining herself

August 10th, off to uncharted territory, passing through Dallas and ending in Waco, Tx.

August 11th, on our way to stay in Laredo, which is on the border, we stopped for lunch and site seeing in San Antonio.

Remember the Alamo

Old Canon aka Jungle Gym

Lunch on the river

August 12th, after obtaining a copy of Lydia's birth certificate (thanks Jess), we crossed the border on Sunday morning without a hitch. Steve went over the day before to get our car permit, and figure out the ropes. Are we sure about this???

The drive to Zacatecas was pretty uneventful.

Swimming on the roof of Howard Johnson's

August 13th, on the home stretch to our departamento, we drove 310 km (190 miles) and it took us over 5 hours. The whole drive was through mountains, little towns, and amazing scenery.

Driving through the land of Dr. Seuss

Just follow the chicken truck. Hopefully he knows where he's going.

Beautiful towns, and farms.

These rock walls were everywhere. How they got there... hard work!!

We finally rolled into Guadalajara at 2:30pm after Lydia got car sick from all the curves. We celebrated our arrival in style!!
