We put these little tidbits together about what have we learned during this epic adventure of ours.

What We Have Learned

Whales are indeed mammals
Not to pick up hitch hikers when by by a prison
The continental divide in NM seperates the waters
Arizona does not follow DST (unless you are a member of the Navajo Nation)
La Quinta Inns are all pet friendly
If you are Caucasian and have a pet poodle, border patrol will not stop you
Texas is big
Dogs like to drink from cups, especially from Sonny’s BBQ
Texas is really big
You could eat for weeks from the roadkill found on one cross country trip (tastes like chicken)
Texans like to blow stuff up, especially on major holidays
Texas is really, really big
GPS systems, just like women, are known to occasionally change their minds about directions
(That’s what she said)

Full of newfound wisdom, we exchanged gifts at home!

Steven was very excited about Transformers on Blu-Ray

My beautiful watch was a perfect present from Steven!

Steven’s Mom and Dad got a new toy poodle puppy for Christmas – introducing Fresco!
