Austin to Amarillo

We left Austin around 10 am.  We drove through West Texas and stopped at Texas Road House in Abilene for lunch.  We had reserved seats for the Texas! Musical at Palo Duro Canyon, but actually arrived in Canyon earlier than expected, so we went ahead and drove to S. Amarillo to check into our hotel.  After checking in and resting for a few minutes, we drove to Palo Duro Canyon to see the musical.  The musical was great, and a perfect ending to a long day in the car.

This is great! sounds like you had a fun trip. we are actually traveling this summer from Colorado to Dallas Texas and then from Dallas to Tulsa, OK then back to Colorado! We wanted to know what sites there are along the way. Your trip will help us plan ours so the kids aren't so bored by a long road trip!
