On our final day in West Texas, we woke up, packed and got ready for the day. We ate breakfast at a little coffee shop on the edge of town called Marathon Coffee Shop. It's the first little place we saw driving into town, but wasn't open until Friday for some reason. The pancakes were awesome even if the coffee wasn't great. We walked the block back to the Gage Hotel and the girls ran around and played in the little courtyard while CK settled up the bill. Sofia ran around making up songs (that rhymed) about West Texas, hiking, horses, etc. She really does have an amazingly creative gift that comes to her so easily. CK found us and had two fluffy new Gage Hotel bathrobes with him! We loved wearing them all week and I am so excited we have our very own now!
We said goodbye to Marathon and the Gage Hotel and drove to Alpine where we found a car wash and worked over Tex's car to remove the mud, dust, dead bugs from the outside and the gum wrappers, crackers and various girl projects from the inside. The Jeep looked so different once we were done! After, we headed to the airport where we loaded up and flew home. It was a fun week in West Texas exploring beautiful land and we hope to return soon!
