I'm in Texas
We made it safely to the great state of Texas at 8:30pm central time. This is precisely the predicted time of arrival by my amazingly intuitive Aunt. I was driving by the University at 2:00am this morning. My sister wanted us to stop by, but we didn't make it in time.
We didn't manange to leave Virginia Beach until 6:00pm yesterday. But everything worked out just fine. We had a very safe trip and very little trouble. Our "cargo" holder on the roof rattled a bit until we figured out how to fix that. And Rosceaux wasn't happy about being in the back of the car, so he opted to stand/stick his head in between the two front seats all the way to Houston. I'll post a picture when I get it off my Aunt's camera.
I drove more than I expected I would, but the block seemed to help me manage my pain quite well. Plus, cruise control is a life saver.
We were able to stop in Albany, Louisiana for lunch at 3pm today at Eber's to get the best roast beef sandwhichs I've ever had. It was great. Sarah was surprised she remembered where the restaurant was after three years!
All in all, it was a very ok trip. We made excellent travel time considering all the stops we made. This included a three hour lay over in Georgia at 5:00am. There was only one spot of traffic that slowed us down in Louisianna. But it kept us from traffic in Beaumont, TX.
Oh, well, I am rambling. I am very tired and currently medicated.
P.S.
This is the first time I have blogged away from "home." It is pretty cool. I had to put the login page URL in my Palm to remember it. Okay. Done. I'll keep you apprised on my Christmas vacation. I hope that you will do the same for me.
grace and peace!
P.P.S.
I don't have my normal spell checker. I'll try to proofread very well.
