We got in late that evening and had a along drive ahead of us so the only stop we made in Armarillo was the Cadillac Ranch. From what I understand it is a art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas, U.S. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm. It consists of what were (when originally installed during 1974) either older running used or junk Cadillac automobiles, representing a number of evolutions of the car line (most notably the birth and death of the defining feature of mid twentieth century Cadillac's; the tailfins) from 1949 to 1963, half-buried nose-first in the ground, at an angle corresponding to that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
This was such a fun and messy stop because it poured so hard on us the walk out there was pretty tricky because the ground was a huge muddy puddle. Justin did not want to venture out there but I insisted. We have to make the most out of this trip rain or not!! People leave their old cans of paint in bags on the fence or on the ground by the cars so all we did is walk out there get to work.
Justin took the babies back to car and me and the olders finished up.
There was one casualty out in the field...my fav flip-flops....glad that Kase and I have the same size feet :)
So much for pretty hair and outfits today...
