Thanksgiving Trip - Day 1

Had to work this morning, but computers went out early and ended up getting home around noon. Kids had time for a field trip at school this morning - that worked out great! We picked them up and left Fort Worth around 1400. The girls watched movies and tried to get the trains to blow their whistles (they did). Had dinner at the world's slowest Dairy Queen (Childress, TX - avoid it!). Back on the road as the sun was setting. Took US-287 all the way to Amarillo - it's four lane all the way now - and then on I-40 Played trivia games in the dark. Glad speed limit was 75 in New Mexico - it made the last few miles go faster... Arrived in ABQ around 2200 and got in a traffic jam at the I-40/I-25 merge. Finally made it to Hyatt Tamaya around 2300. Got into our room and went right to sleep...
