Ok so we are finally out of that town. We can't tell you how we never want to visit Carlsbad, NM again. We are now in Laredo, TX a couple of minutes from the Mexican border, and will be crossing tomorrow morning. Pray that all goes ok. I do have a funny story...many have said that our luck with vehicles is less then fortunate...almost comparably with our friend and tickets. Um...we love you. Well after we finally left Carlsbad, and finally made it to Pacos, TX which was our destination to begin with, 83 miles from Carlsbad. We pulled over to get directions on the laptop, what do you know the hood started smoking...That's right folks our new car and there is smoke coming from the hood. I couldn't believe it. Aaron, as the man, which I am so glad went out to inspect the car and pulled a red work rag from the engine...yes that's right a red work rag. Then some nice "folks" from TX pulled over to help us out and they discoverd another red work rag... this one however caught flame while trying to remove it. We had to pull over to another dealership to make sure that our car was A-OK. It was, and we were again off.
Here in Laredo we went down to burn some energy in the pool, as everyone looked at us like crazy people. I was like why not, it's 75 degrees here. Um...little did we know the out door pool was not at all heated, and the water was a little above FREEZING. Needless to say we did not take a dip. Alyx sat on the side with her feet in for a little while. We pulled her out before they turned completely blue. They are now taking a dip in the bath for entertainment. They seem to have a good time in there. Well I think that's it for now....we got our track phone today and are waiting for it to activate so when that happens we will let ya know our new number. We would appreciate it though if you signed up with skype...which is totally free by the way...and got a microphone for your computer, and if you really want a web cam. Let us know your log on name and we will do the rest. Hope your enjoying this and pictures will be up soon. Sorry about the delay...that is Aaron's territory. Love you all and miss you, but excited to be on this adventure.
