{Road Trip} Day Twelve - Going Nutty and Covering A Lot of Ground

We woke up this morning in New Mexico, and decided to make a stop at local Alomogordo pistachio farm, PistachioLand. Long story, but Hubby visited here years and years ago when he was in town with the army and really wanted to back!

I felt a little bit like we were living in the National Lampoon's Vacation movie when I asked the kids to pose for a picture with the gigantic pistachio...

but really, who am I kidding? Our whole trip is like a National Lampoon's Vacation movie...


Hubby spent enough money buying pistachios that they gave him a free totebag and a free coffee mug, and we all enjoyed some (not free) ice cream!


From there, we continued east and finally hit Texas where we made a stop in Midland to check out a few of President George H.W. Bush's and President George W. Bush's homes...

{405 East Maple Avenue, Midland, TX}
{2703 Sentinel Drive, Midland, TX}
{1405 West Golf Course Road, Midland, TX}

but only this one is a museum...

{1412 West Ohio Avenue, Midland, TX}

At least I didn't make B jump out and take pictures with all the houses above...

We made a stop in Fort Worth for dinner at Velvet Taco...


and, it was yummy!


Driving through the night to one last stop tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!
