We knew we had a long drive today so we planned to make today about having a good time on the road as opposed to getting to our destination as fast as possible. Meaning if we saw a town we wanted to explore, we stopped; if we saw scenery we wanted to capture, we stopped; if we wanted to eat, we stopped. Sure it made the drive longer, but again it was about having a great time, not making great time.
With this philosophy we got to see several fun parts of Texas including Fredericksburg, a great little town about an hour and a half outside Austin. We did breakfast and some shopping – Mom greatly enjoyed both.

Everything really is bigger in Texas; this may explain why we were able to drive for more than 10 hours today
Mama D. was in quilt heaven in Fredericksburg; she'd been looking all trip and this place had every possible quilt
We captured some great scenic shots of the big Texas sky and rolling mountains on our drive.
We finally pulled into El Paso at sunset, but decided to keep going. We ended up in Deming, NM, a small town about three hours outside Tucson, AZ.
