Texas in a Day

Today we drove from Galveston to Amarillo. Along the way we passed through Houston, Arlington (directly between Dallas and Fort Worth), and Wichita Falls. Driving along Highway 287, I never realized how close we were to Oklahoma. Our original plan was to stop in Childress, TX, but that changed when we thought we'd like to have a little extra time in Colorado Springs. So we'll depart tomorrow morning at 8am and head to Colorado Springs with enough time left in the day to explore a little bit.

The portion of the drive from Houston to Arlington was slow due to some heavy rain. After the rain, the blue sky came out and Kaho was able to take these really nice photos from the car.

After arriving to the hotel, I realized that is probably Oklahoma on the horizon in these photos.

Most of the day was overcast and it was closer to sundown that the sky was really clear. Driving directly west meant the sun in our hours for a while.

It was a fairly uneventful day, but we saw two nice cats at a rest stop.

Will update again tomorrow evening after we explore a bit in Colorado Springs.
Peace.
