Day Thirteen....Don't Mess With Texas!

More driving today. In the small town of Santa Rosa, NM we found The Blue Hole. It is a naturally occurring artesian spring. It is 81 feet deep and the water is 64 degrees year round. The kids waded in the creek that is fed by the spring. Just like the ocean, I should have put them I their suits. One will never learn. Paige was the most hesitant, she is more of a chlorine pool kind of girl. Brooke and Dalton however had a blast! After seeing the scuba divers there the kids want to learn. Maybe that can be part of our next vacation. After a quick change of clothes we were on the road again.
Goodbye New Mexico hello Texas. Dalton asked why they have the saying "Don't mess with Texas". I honestly don't know why. Doug thought maybe because they have big guns to match their egos.
The next stop was Cadillac Ranch. This was made by a group of artists in 1974. It is supposed to represent the evolution of the car line. I saw it as an opportunity to teach my children the art of graffiti. Why not give your children spray. Even Elyse got in on the fun. How do you get spray paint of skin anyway?
Camping in Oklahoma equals bugs, heat, humidity, and women who smoke cigarettes in the shower room. Even a poor little cockroach couldn't stand the smell. Ahhh I love camping! Second hotel card please!
Tomorrow on to Kansas.
