Day 1 - Travel from Abilene to Red River, New Mexico


Day One of Vacation 6/25

We left early Wednesday morning before G & G were awake and as we drove away from Abilene I felt like we had finally begun our trip. It felt like a scene from a movie (or at least a car commercial) the kids were asleep in their seats, Jeffrey and I were comfortably quiet, melodic traveling music was playing, the early morning magic hour was breaking over the farmland and the old run down farms, and all the sudden Jeffrey breaks the moment by saying, “You want to live in Hermley?” which cracks me up.


We breakfasted on our packed breakfast (croissants, muffins and juice) at the sweetest 1950’s playground.




The kids got to watch one movie.

Windmills, a promise of prosperity for a land in which wind is one of its few natural resources.



We got to the cabin at Red River early in the evening, ate at an Italian restaurant, and then got a few groceries at the little grocery store.
