Motorhome Trip - Amarillo, Texas and Albuquerque. New Mexico

Amarillo
Brendan's brother, Christopher, had told Brendan about the Big Texan steak challenge years ago and so Brendan had been planning to stop here for a long time.  It was just a funny place, and the kids really enjoyed it.  They have a restaurant and hotel.  The restaurant is loud with people singing at your tables and animals and horns all over the walls.  The kids favorite part had to be that their kids meals came in cowboy hats.  We also stopped in the gift shop and bought some rock candy for the kids and fudge for us.   The steak challenge is that you have to eat the 72 oz. steak with shrimp cocktail, a baked potato, and butter and roll within an hour.  If you win you get the meal for free, but if you don't you have to pay the full $72.  Thankfully Brendan didn't try the challenge.







 Albuquerque
I think Albuquerque was our least favorite city.  We weren't there long, but it just didn't seem very nice, and it was hot.  We walked around downtown and went out to eat.


Breakfast in the motorhome.


Brendan really wanted to get some good New Mexican food with green chilis.  My travel book and people around town recommended Frontier.  It was a good choice.






Niels just doing his usual sit in the city.

We stopped at a park and it had shades all over it because of the sun and heat.  No thank you.

All wiped out at the same time.
