In pursuit of excelling at my craft and passion of photography, I decided to attend a photography conference in Las Vegas, NV. Yes, I put myself and work out there for the experts to review....nail biting!!! (more on this in a future post). Here is the first installation of our journey/vacation, business/pleasure trip.
What was to be a 3 day 2 night time away from home turned into a 10 day getaway. How?! The hubs and the kiddo COULDNNNNN'T stand to be away from me even for a day.....................was, what I wanted to say when in fact, the hubs and I just love to travel. We always have. When the opportunity presented itself, we toyed with the idea of turning this into a road trip. It really didn't take us long to make up our minds. We have flown to Vegas many times and while still fun, we've pretty much seen most of it. This time, we wanted a difference experience. Oh! and yes, we took our toddler along with us. Crazy?! But of course!!!! It's me, y'all(oh! the texas drawl is rubbing on me, ha!). Nothing more fun than driving across 4 states and 3 time zones with a toddler, LOL! Seriously, we would not have done it without her. It was an aaaaammmmmazzzzzzing trip and we had blast. To be able to share this experience with her and make memorable memories together is a blessing and we would not trade it for anything.
There were so many places we wanted to visit on this trip. It was hard to choose, but we finally plotted our route and the must sees. First stop, Amarillo, TX. What stood out for us in Amarillo was the Cadillac Ranch. For those not familiar, Cadillac Ranch is located out in cow pasture where a number of Cadillac automobiles are half buried nose first into the ground. It is an iconic roadside attraction not to be missed if you are in that part of the country.
Whoo! Hoo! Off we go....
Since the Cadillac Ranch is a public art installation, guess who was all over it with creativity?
OH! and YES! we did leave a telltale sign that we were there. If you are ever in the area and you can find it, take a picture of yourself next to it and I'll give you a prize* ;) Good luck!
