This is great moment! It is my first, drive from Houston to West coast. 第一次带起全家一同旅行，兴奋+紧张。RICE特别乖。粘人。EMMA貌似也很兴奋。希望一切顺利。

We spent 6 hours for driving today. Due to i don’t wanna so hurry at first day.

I 10 – HWY 71 – Austin Lunch – HWY 29 – HWY 71 – San Angelo.

离开AUSTIN后都是连绵的山路。窄，双车道，但均速不是很慢，因为没有什么车子。

How huge TX is. After 6 hrs way, we are still in TX.

Good choice is HWY 29, that is awesome views. Better than the boring way at I 10. But tomorrow, we still need back to I 10. That is major I way in Us, From west to east.

Rice and Emma is so exciting today. More close Holiday, More happy they are.

We are looking forward the nice view on tomorrow, and next trip at Tucson, AZ.

PS: Gas added-on 2 times today for first 360 mi (around 26 G)
