\"Day-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

December 30, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are in the mountains! Today we traveled from northern Texas through New Mexico and into Colorado. Tonight we are staying in Denver for the night. We\u2019ve decided that tomorrow we will reach our destination: Salt Lake City! I\u2019m excited to stop living a nomadic life and get to SLC, even though I\u2019m loving the trip itself. We will go into Wyoming and down into SLC.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome to New Mexico<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was an interesting day, and the weather was beautiful! I loved just enjoying the new landscape of mountains, deserts, and something other than flat\/marshy tropical areas.<\/p>\n

\"Route<\/a><\/p>\n

Roadside Attraction for Route 66<\/strong><\/p>\n

We drove along the historic Route 66 again today until we turned north for Colorado. We ate in NM at a cute diner that was themed to be a 1950s travelers\u2019 diner. The food was surprisingly unique. Katie ordered a chili which was a Tex-Mex flare on the typical chili. It had a hint of spice and it was delicious! I ordered a quesadilla which also had a unique flare. We were glad we chose that restaurant since there were rather slim pickings in Santa Rosa, NM. For dinner, we ate in Denver at a very nice Italian restaurant in a cute (maybe downtown?) area. The restaurant\u2019s menu advertised prices for $15-$25 on average, but both of our meals were under $9 on the check. It included bread, salad, and the meal itself. Great deal with a date-like ambiance, but it was a nice change of pace from Tex-Mex.<\/p>\n

\"Cadillac<\/a><\/p>\n

Cadillac Ranch<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cadillac<\/a><\/p>\n

Before leaving Texas, we went to Cadillac Ranch. It\u2019s basically just graffitied Cadillacs buried in the ground in the middle of a desert. It made for a great photo op! The warm morning sun was also nice\u2026 but it was freezing! 19 degrees plus a wind chill! These Florida girls were a bit chilly\u2026 especially our ears and fingers!<\/p>\n
