Starting on Monday, I am taking a trip. It's Spring Break, after all. I will be loading the family into the station wagon for the good old fashioned American road trip. But I'm not exactly traveling to a tourist hot spot. Russell, Kansas. My wife's family lives there. We're going to visit her grandparents, who are in their 80s, before we can't anymore, if you follow my meaning.Here's my proposed route. I'll be stopping for the night in Albuquerque. I want to know if there's anywhere else that I could stop to see some things a few teenagers might find interesting, or some cool places to eat along the way. "IHOP in Flagstaff" and "Dairy Queen in Amarillo" aren't really the greatest, but they'll do in a pinch. I'll be taking more or less the same route home, in reverse naturally. So if there's anything else to see, I'd like to know. Thanks AI.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Ruidoso NM is really pretty, though it's a couple of hours south of ABQ. I spent a lot of time there growing up. The stop for the night in Albuquerque is pretty well set in stone both ways, since the hotel I booked will not refund me. Special price or some such nonsense. Raluek posted:I'd recommend turning the car around and driving it in the forward gears instead. It's probably pretty difficult to see out of the back of those station wagons when you're fully loaded and at highway speed, and you don't want to get a crick in your neck from turning your head like that.  BoldFrankensteinMir posted:May I humbly suggest that you take, as the great world-traveler Bugs Bunny has often regretted missing, a left turn at Albuquerque and take I-25 North into Colorado. We have some beautiful countryside here, and for those pesky teenagers you'll get a couple larger cities (Santa Fe, then progressively larger cities the further north you go into Colo) as opposed to the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle which is a pretty depressed area. You could veer East at Trinidad or Colorado Springs, though It may be worth the extra few miles to go all the way to the Mile High (try our green chili and craft beer! And... other stuff... if your family is really cool...) then take 70 into Kansas. Lots of empty highway then but there's no way to enter the K-hole without that. How is the weather this time of year in CO? I'm trying to avoid any sort of inclement conditions. That's why I'm taking the southern route on I-40 in the first place instead of the much more scenic I-70.
