Letting the teenager drive

We let the teenager drive twice on this trip.The first time was in the parking lot/campground of a KOA. That went well. The brakes are kind of tricky so I was a little worried. You really have to press them. All the way. 

The second time was on the highway when we left the Cheyenne, Wyoming  rest area. OMG. That was freakin scary. I love her. I think she's a pretty good driver. But no teenager should drive on an 80 MPH freeway with trucks entering and passing 18-wheelers and whatnot. And that was it. That's all the driving she did. I was not emotionally stable enough for any more than that.

I can't tell you how excited we were when we looked at our route to Lubbock and saw that it took us straight through Santa Rosa. This was one of our favorite stops last summer on our way to Santa Fe. In less than 3 hours from Angel Fire we were all jumping into these icy cold springs and soaking up the sun. I highly recommend this pool. And the only fee is $5 for parking!!  (If you look closely you can see the CWV waiting patiently in the parking lot back there.)
