On our way to San Angelo, we stopped in Roswell, NM. Every bank and business we passed seemed to have an inflatable flying saucer or space creature statue out front, and the hotel marquees said things like "Aliens welcome!"
The boys and I celebrated Rune's birthday at an incredibly kitschy and fun place called the Alien Zone...
After the aliens, we hauled butt for San Angelo. The boys swam, and then went to Stango's to get their fortunes read by Zoltar!
The next morning was the last leg of the trip, from San Angelo back to Austin. We hit 3,000 miles just outside of Brady. Nature and LadyBird Johnson rolled out the wildflower carpet for us - and I have to say - Central Texas in Spring is green and lush compared to the deserts we just drove through!
Two boys, one dog, three thousand miles, and millions of memories.....and at last, home sweet home.
