Are we there yet?

BORED!!

We got to Austin today to visit my sister. We were expecting a 16 hour drive today and thankfully it only took about 14.5 hours. Scott was a good chauffeur.

We left Phoenix at about 6:30 this morning. I slept until we were south of Tucson and then stayed awake for the rest of the trip. Scott stayed awake for the whole trip as well.

The drive was uneventful. After Tucson the largest city that we went through was El Paso and that was West Texas, we still had the whole state to go through...

Hello!

The part of Texas that we went through will definitely not win awards for most scenic. We did drive past many desert mountains but other than that it was land covered in scrub brush. It seems like many of the bushes were brownish/reddish. I'm not sure if that's because it's fall or because the bushes are dying because of the severe draught that Texas is in. There were no trees, it was a pretty desolate drive.

As the sun was setting the scenery started to change as we made our way into the hill country. We could see that there were trees but that's about it. The beginning of the drive back to Phoenix should be very nice.

We got into town at about 11:00pm Austin time and visit with Laura until 1ish. We are all looking forward to the next few days!
