Everyone knows that Texas is huge. In fact, when I first did the drive from California to Houston, I heard the statistic that El Paso is closer to the Pacific Ocean than to Houston. However, I thought this trip would somehow be shorter, since we're headed northwest. Twelve hours later, we are still in Texas! But it's been a fun drive and we are having a great time. Our goal is to make it to the southern part of Colorado, which we should be able to do in the next two hours. And we haven't been driving the whole time either. We just had a very romantic anniversary dinner at a McDonald's inside a Chevron in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. :)
If you are traveling this way:
It's about 9 hours from Houston to Amarillo if you don't stop except to get gas and a quick bathroom break.
Texas rest areas are really well-maintained along this route. Some even have 24-hour attendants
Stopping at Buc-ee's is a must for any Texas roadtrip!
