Good Morning!
We are on the pacific ocean at a motel that is literally right on the ocean. We watched the sun set last night and it was quite a site. The motel is quite old and is slated to be torn down in February but its clean and all we need. When I left to come to this cafe Mr. Pete was in the outside hot tub. It is in the 70's. Sorry to all of you in the East and the cold.
Yesterday's drive was thru the desert and mountains of rocks. It was quite a site. We are very close to Mexico and saw many many border patrols on Highway 8. I am at a cafe writing this as the motel we are staying at doesn't have internet. Can you believe = me at a cyber cafe??
I won't be writing again until Monday night because the cafe is closed on Sunday. Tomorrow we are going the the San Diego Zoo and ride the aerial tram. Monday we will leave for Las Vegas. We spoke to a couple this morning on the beach from there and they gave us some good ideas of things to do. Mr. Pete talks with everyone and we have met people from Los Angeles, Columbus, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan (Yeah!) and Connecticut.
Hope everyone is well and keeping warm.
Keep trucking - Love, Miss Annie and Mr. Pete

1/15/09 Casa Grande, Arizona
Hey, Greetings from Miss Annie and Mr. Pete.
Today we put on 550 miles with Pete doing most of the driving. Not sure how that happened?
I was driving in New Mexico at one point went the car stopped accelerating, I thought it had turned off so was coasting to a stop when Mr. Pete told me he accidentally put it in neutral while plugging in his cellphone. Oh My! That was interesting with trucks going by at 80 miles per hour!
We got off the highway in Flagstaff and went to Sedona. We drove thru a canyon and saw sights that were unbelievable! We pulled over many times to look. It was totally awesome. Well worth the two hours we spent off the highway. I took many pictures while riding thru the canyon but still can't figure out how to send them.
We arrived in Casa Grande at 7:15 tonight and are both quite tired. Not sure if we
are even going to get dinner.
Take care and keep on trucking, Love, Miss Annie and Mr. Pete

Hey, greetings from Miss Annie and Mr. Pete from the great state of New Mexico. Today was a long day from Oklahoma. It was over 10 hours of driving 80 miles an hour. Over 630 miles today thru very flat, flat land. We saw a place called Lake Meredith in OK and then a place called Logan, Texas.
I have taken pictures from the car going 80 miles an hour and they have amazingly come out okay. Sorry but I couldn't figure out how to get them on here.
Saw some small oil rigs pumping in Oklahoma and in Texas we saw 1,000's of cattle (poor things were waiting for "you know what"). But mmmmmmmmmm that steak was good!!!
Scenery was incredible and at one point we saw the horizon off in the distance and measured it at 11 miles. This was in Texas. Have seen lots of WindMills in both states. Now is New Mexico the mountains have started.
Oh, before we foget we saw a state park in Tennesse named "Toad Suck" and another one called "mothers milk". Some of the names are very strange.
Mr. Pete took a pp in Kickapoo. Oklahoma. Miss Annie hasn't figured out how to pp in a cup yet. so we have to stop for her.
Keep on trucking. On our way to San Jose (you know the song?).
Love, Miss Annie and Mr. Pete

1/13/09 Henryetta, Oklahoma
We had a longer day on the road today.
Better sleep last night. Yeah. Went into Nashville for me to take a few pictures before we left town. Still don't know how to put them on this blog.
Lots of flat, flat land and so many trucks we lost count. Not much to see on the road today. Elvis wasn't in Memphis so we didn't stop there. Tomorrow we hope to hit Alburquerque, NM. We have decided to head to San Diego first before Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Pacific Ocean here we come.
We are in a motel right on the highway tonight and all you can here are the trucks on the road but hopefully we'll be able to sleep. So tired...........
Take care and keep on trucking.
Love, Miss Annie

Hey, here we are again, another motel, anot
her state, another town. If this blog is call "Driving Miss Annie" how come Miss Annie has to do some of the driving???
We only made 400 miles today because Miss Annie isn't sleeping well and didn't get going until 9:30am. Mr. Pete has been quite patient with Miss Annie and not her not sleeping well.
We got off the highway to see the birthplace of Davey Crockett and never found it before we were back on the highway again. We never did see anyone to ask for directions. Oh well, Davey will have to forgive us. We did buy an atlas finally and thought great, now we can find Davey's birthplace, but alas, no luck.
In Nashville we are looking to introduce Miss Annie to Tim McGraw if we can get Mr. Pete out of the jacuzzi room he rented for tonight. Miss Annie doesn't like jacuzzi's so she saved some money on her room.
Tomorrow another city, another state, another motel and on and on we go.
Keep on trucking, Love Miss Annie
