First adventure in a while. Liz Mac, Brynya, Courtney and I drove her new Honda Accord cross country after Christmas. Got out a bit later than planned, but eventually hit the snowy road at 5:30 AM on Dec 28. Coolers full, GPS set for San Jose, and we were off. First stop, Knoxville, TN. Travel agent Glen booked us a room at the Best Western which was a welcome stop. Checked in and headed to Chili's for salad and a cold beer. Up early to visit Nashville, Graceland, Opryland. Made it to Oklahoma City and another Best Western by nightfall. Subway sure tasted good. Next leg was through Amarillo amidst a surprising snow fall. Drove along the Historic Route 66 and stopped to snap pictures of the Cadilac Ranch. Made it to Flagstaff (Fairfield Inn) early evening on New Year's Eve, with hopes of getting to the Acorn Drop. Restaurants were full so settled for take out at Chillis, a bottle of wine, and watching the ball drop in NYC. Made it to the Hoover Dam on Friday, January 1, 2010 - awesome. Spent a few hours driving the strip in Las Vegas, dropping a few coins at Ceasears Palace, and enjoying a relaxing $15 martini! Next Stop California!!! Spent the night at a new Holiday Inn in Bakersfield before arriving in San Jose on Saturday.
The trip was so much fun, full of laughs, pleasant attractions, and great company!
