Del Rio, TX: Six days, 2,183.1 miles

Six days and 2,183.1 miles later, we made it to Del Rio! It was quite the road trip for a little girl who won't even be seven weeks old until tomorrow and she took it like a trooper. All in all, I would say Mikayla cried for a combined hour or less during the drive (don't worry, she is a real baby and fussed during other times, but to our fortune she was perfectly content as long as the car was rolling).

I was pleasantly surprised as we drove south to find that Del Rio’s “hill country” really does have hills. In fact, there are some really neat river canyons and surprisingly large rolling hills covered with a combination of golden grasses and brush and dark green shrubs. The last time I was in what was supposedly Texas Hill Country, I don’t recall seeing anything resembling a true hill.

Coming into town we were met with a few surprises and perhaps a bit of a reality check, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to learn more. I’m a bit worn out this evening and going to call it a night, but wanted to let everyone know that we're here. Stay tuned and thanks for following our journey.
