| Wes and I at the Cadillac ranch |
We have been on the road for the last four days. Last night we arrived at our destination Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Ian had to stay in the hospital for overnight chemo so Mom, Vivian,and Evan had to stay at home. On our first day we went to Wichita Falls and left the next morning. We got spray paint so that we could spray paint the Cadillacs at the Cadillac ranch.The Cadillac ranch is a field with about ten Cadillacs put in the ground nose first as an art display from 1974. Later that day we went to a chicken fried steak place in Amerillo that had been on man vrs food .That night we stayed in Albuquerque ,New Mexico. The area we stayed at was much nicer than when we had been there before . Usually when we go on trips we play different games and read. When we play games sometimes we play the animal game. You play by going from seat to seat and try to name animals from A to Z. Wes might start first and he will have a and will say a animal that starts with a then I will go and have b and so on. The next night we stayed in Las Vegas but earlier that day we went to the Hoover Dam when we looked into the water we saw these very large fish that we think were bluegill. We also learned that the nazis had tried to bomb the Hoover Dam and that is why you will see pictures of sunken planes farther up from the Hoover dam. The night we stayed in Las Vegas we stayed at the Trump Hotel ,Mom had price lined it earlier that day. It was the nicest hotel I had ever been in.It was very sophisticated it even had a tv that was part of the mirror. We wanted to go to circus circus but the buses were not going there and it was to far to walk .Afterwards on the next day our last day which we were all excited about turned out to be very frustrating..We did live but it got pretty bad. First about four hours into our drive we where supposed to turn but we missed it because you couldn't tell you were supposed to turn there because it was a dirt road in the dessert and also there was no sign. Well our GPS told us not to turn around but to keep on going and turn onto silver springs road about 20 miles ahead. So we listened to the GPS and about thirty minutes later we turn down silver springs road and it is a dirt road with signs saying road under construction next 20 miles in the middle of the desert ! We all kind of freak out Dad asked if we are scared Wes said a little and I said a little. I know Wes was not really scared because he fell asleep two minutes later.It only got worse because 15 miles later a sign says watch out for possible sink holes then watch out for dust. We finally got back on to a regular interstate. Eventually around six in the afternoon after multiple sharp turns up and down mountains we made it to lush Lake Tahoe ,Nevada.
