Before our second daughter, Henley, was born we decided to take a trip from our current home of suburban Denver to our hometown of Austin. Mainly because all the grandparents were located there and could help entertain our first daughter, Halen. So off we went.
We plugged in our traveling diffuser with Peace & Calming from YoungLiving to take the edge off. And we drove through a wicked, side wind snowstorm from our house to Raton, NM. Certainly made things interesting to start our road trip. And made us very happy to be in our new-to-us Explorer with four wheel drive. Before our Explorer we'd be slipping and sliding all over the road.
We spent our first night in Dumas, TX in a decent hotel and had Texas shaped waffles for breakfast the next morning. We made it into Austin and dropped our toddler off with Yaya and enjoyed 5 days of kid free adult fun. Our Explorer took us downtown to snack on delicious tacos, sip bubbly beverages and cozy up in a darling boutique hotel bed...all things we wouldn't normally be able to enjoy with an almost-two-year-old.
Then after a week of babymooning we started the trek back to Colorado. We stopped in Dumas again and then arrived back in the Centennial state.
Great trip!
