Can seven Texas women take a road trip and drive 600 miles in 9 hours??? Probably... if we can coordinate our bathroom breaks! (Otherwise...hmmm 4 breaks per person x 7 = 28 x 5 min x 20 min looking for a clean bathroom = 4 days) No, no no ! Our tardy tour guide Barbara has our schedule down to a T! We're packing a fabulous gourmet picnic lunch and will stop at one of our lovely TxDot roadside parks so that's a big time saver.
Here we are all dressed for the trip. Are we not Glamorous??? We'll plan to take lots and lots of pics of anything pink we see along the way.
In the meantime...would anyone like to guess how many stops and hours it will take to reach Ruidoso?
Maybe we'll keep track and host a giveaway! Woo Hoo...lets hit the road! xoxo Nancy
Head on over to Beverly's this Saturday...she's having a garage sale and hosting this pink party...to visit all the Pink blogs!
Now Nancy, I need to handicap this. How many coffee drinkers, soda drinkers, and water drinkers are in the group. There is a direct drink type/bathroom ratio (I read that somewhere, but I choose to ignore the dire warning about coffee and road trips) I'm going to hazard a guess - 11 hours, 5 short stops. (oh, wait, will you have blinders on so you don't stop at all the cool junk shops you see - that will definitely up the time) Hope you all have a great trip and can't wait to see pictures. Hugs, Kathy
ReplyDeleteCan I just steel Kathy's answer? That was pretty dog-gone good! LOL
ReplyDeleteHope your trip is wonderful... I'm guessing with all the pee-breaks you're looking at about 13 hours and 20 minutes from launch to landing.
hugs. Dixie
Nancy, I don't think I will even guess or try to figure it out, I have taken several road trips with ladies and you can never predict what is going to happen down the road. I hope you all have a great trip and bring back pictures.
ReplyDeleteIf any of these ladies have a blog and I am missing them on my list, please let me know.

Have a fun trip! I don't have the slightest clue how long it would take...maybe 12 hours 20 minutes? LOL Happy Pink Saturday!

Wish I could come I just know you will have a blast. Enjoy making memories. Happy PS
ReplyDeleteL♥ve your pink goodies this week. Just when I think I have enough pink in my life I participate in Pink Saturday and see even more sweet things I’d enjoy having in my home or flowers for my gardens or just to look at☺ What could be better than the color pink dancing in your head all morning?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing. Hoping your weekend is filled with sunshine and the comfort of those you love and who love you.
Oh yes you can!! And so much fun will be had by all, I wish I was there to share it with you. Happy Pink Saturday, Char
ReplyDeletePlease be sure to stop by and enter the shabbylaneshops giveaway. This will happen each month with a new theme. Many of us vendors contributed shabby and chic items for the gift box worth over $100.00, good luck.
Happy Pink Saturday Char. Now listen I know they do everything BIG in Texas. So with you gals all together I am guessing at least 13 hours maybe and 10 minutes, I am not sure because everytime you all pass something pink you're gonna be hollering and pulling over sweetie, and getting in and out can be quite time consuming. And ofcourse when you get that many in one vehicle, you will have to stop at several places for breaks, because none of ya'll will be able to agree on what you want to drink or eat. I am sticking with the time I posted 13 hours 10 minutes. Have a wonderful time and we will be looking for the post trip pictures. Thanks for sharing. Please stop by and see my Pink Saturday post. I so love to share. Country hugs sugar, Sherry
ReplyDeleteLawd have mercy...to be a fly in that car...would probably be scary! LOL. Whatcha y'all gonna do over there? Well, what ever it is, knowing y'all it'll be fun. Did you decorate the car? LOL. Be safe.

OMG....I would have loved to go on the road trip to New Mexico. What a blast you must be having! Bring along a camera for a remake of the movie THELMA and LOUISE.

I think Kathy said it all! Personally, I wouldn't be able to pass a single antique store/junk shop, so if I were there, you might never reach New Mexico! Hope your trip is full of fun, antiques, and laughter.
ReplyDeleteI wanna come WITH you girls. I can't think of much else that sounds as much fun!!! I know you will chronicle the event for the rest of us!!
ReplyDeleteWhen Bonnie, Marian and I took a little recent road trip, it took us 7 hours to travel 150 miles!! We made certain, we stopped at every little town along the way to search for antique shops and we DID have a great picnic lunch, too!
Have fun!! Happy PSat! L, Dana
What a cute post Nancy. I love those little retro ladies!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun...a road trip! A few of my sisters and I took a trip down to Ft. Lauderdale with my BIL driving (24 hours straight there!). He allowed us bathroom priviledges every time he gassed up and timed them to 2 minutes max. Needless to say, he was scratched from the following year's trip!
Can't wait to see your pictures. And try eating fruit to stay hydrated!
xoxo

What a fun post. I am going to guess 14 hours and 30 minutes, with hmmmm, 6 stops! I hope you had a blast.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Hope you're having a great amount of fun, Nancy! Sounds like fun! Suzie
