Since we left Page early we got to break up the drive with a stop in Amarillo, Texas.
We had some seriously frightening weather coming in to town and when we were hooking up at the campsite but it calmed down quickly. We had a nice pizza dinner out and avoiding the famous steak place.
We started out with a very muddy trip to Cadillac Ranch. It is an art installation with 10 Cadillac’s planted nose up in the ground. One night it was secretly moved to a new location because tourists were kind mistreating someones property. We stomped through the mud to get out to see the cars. 
We stopped at the “Cadillac Ranch Museum”took a few photos and left. Everything was so expensive, t-shirts were at least $30! 
Up next was the RV museum! This was a total hit. We loved seeing how the old RVs looked and all the fun things that they had on display from each time period. 
The highlight of the stop was the Gornicke bus from the movie RV starring Robin Williams. 
Checking out a few more before the need to explore nature set in. 
We stopped at the Amarillo Zoo. FYI mom got stunk by a Tarantula Hawk Wasp after pumping gas on the way in to town. This is now how she feels about them! 
The zoo was small, the animals didn’t look great and I felt it wasn’t a healthy place for them. We wandered around for 20 minutes and left. 
We also took a trip out to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. We drove through the parka nd took a few small hikes to see the overlooks. It was really pretty but we are currently jaded after Black Canyon and Grand Canyon on this trip. 
The rains were coming and we needed to kill more time while Dad worked. We ended up at the Don Harrington Discovery Center for the afternoon. We had a fun time playing in the hands on exhibits and participating in a robotics class. 
Back to the motorhome, laundry and bed! We all are ready to get home!There was a delay in laundry since the campground lost water for a while. Mom and I hung out int he laundry room to make sure we got first shot when the water came back. I played with all the quarters for a long time until we were done! B was back in the motorhome working on his SPC classes, he has had to work in the evenings and odd hours to keep up all summer.
