Big move to Texas!

The last few weeks have flown by quickly! We have started our venture to Texas. After we arrive at the Hartman residence tomorrow I think we will be done driving long distance for a few months. We left yesterday late morning from Syracuse. We had our drive all planned out...we were hoping to stop at four MWC football stadiums. Well, things haven't gone as planned. Our trek started much later than we had hoped for. We left about 5 hours later than planned. Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-law Shannon for cleaning our house...had it not been for her we would have left even later.

We were able to stop at Wyoming Cowboys War Memorial stadium. We were really impressed. The stadium is much nicer and bigger than it looks on TV. We were able to get right on the football field. The gates were wide open. As we were walking towards the football field with our BYU t-shirts on the football team came out of the building (I'm guessing it was their field house?)right next to the stadium. It was a little scary. There were two players that walked right past us and they kept turning around and looking at us. Probably wondering what the heck the 4 Cougar fans were doing on their turf. :0) After that we had car after car pass us filled with players in them. They all drive low-rider cars with dark tinted windows. We jumped in the cars and took off.

After leaving Laramie we drove to Fort Collins to stop at CSU Hughes Stadium. By the time we got there it was around 10 PMish. All the gates were closed and it was so dark we weren't able to see anything. :0( That's what we get for leaving so late in the day. We ended our day in Colorado Springs.

Our plan was to stop at Air Force Falcon Stadium first thing this morning but because we got into to the hotel so late Thursday night we slept in and didn't have time. When J had researched our route we were going to take he booked our hotel at the South end of the campus but we found out this morning that we were going to have to back track about 10 miles to get to the stadium. We had our longest part of our trip today so we decided we will just have to stop there on one of our visits back to Utah.

If all goes as planned we will be stopping at TCU Ammon G Carter Stadium in the morning and will arrive at Kir's in the afternoon. Pictures of our trek to come...
