Life is a Highway

Miles: 1,140

Route: Alamogordo, NM - Dallas, TX - Eutaw, AL

The past two days have basically consisted of driving, sleeping and eating. We left White Sands early Thursday morning, made it to Dallas by evening, then woke up today and drove through Louisiana and Mississippi so we could attend the Alabama college football game tomorrow with our friends (and longtime Tide fans) Andrew and Meredith. Not a whole lot to report about our drive so I'll let a few pictures tell the story.

Somewhere along the way. Seemed appropriate!

We made it to a rooftop bar in downtown Dallas right before sunset.

Not a bad way to spend a few hours in Dallas.

Tomorrow we get to sleep in a bit before heading to Tuscaloosa for game day. Roll Tide!
