Today, we continued our odyssey with just a little bit left of New Mexico before crossing into Texas. It took us about 8 hours to cross half the state before arriving at home. Once again, we had the ballgame to keep us company and this time the Dodgers won. Yay!

The drive back to Texas from California began today! Koa and I set out on our two-day road trip, with today’s leg being a long, easy stretch. We passed the time listening to the Dodger game (sadly, they didn’t win) and eventually stopped for the night in Lordsburg, New Mexico. Tomorrow, the drive continues through West Texas, and then we’ll be home!

Tonight was an incredible experience! We got to watch our son, Koa, perform with RCC at the WGI Championships in Dayton, Ohio. Their show was absolutely amazing – a truly record-breaking performance! We were so thrilled to be there and share in this moment. So proud! Check out the video below:

We’re on our way to Dayton, Ohio to watch Koa compete in the WGI Percussion Championships! On the way, we traveled through Charlotte, which is where I snapped this photo. Oh, I also saw my blog’s name at the airport!
