Leaving such a restful and beautiful place is difficult, but we have a schedule to keep on this trip, and so we go. We departed Lone Star TX around 1:30 yesterday and headed west, towards Dallas/Ft. Worth. We are not trying to burn up the highway on this leg, so we ended up in Abilene Tx. last night, staying at our second favorite destination, Flying J, pulling in around 8 PM. We had a bit of a catastrophe yesterday when we stopped at a road side picnic area and took the kids out for a walk. Apparently Governor Perry was so busy campaigning earlier this year, and didn't have time to mow the grass at the picnic area here. As a result, the kids got their fur full of sticky weeds and Linda and I spent about an hour cleaning them up. Poor kids were really good though and got rewarded with extra treats as a result.
We were hungry when we pulled in, and after getting parked, we took off to locate a mexican restaurant we had found on the GPS. After a 20 mile round trip, including finding the "closed" restaurant, we ended up eating at the Denny's at the Flying J. Oh well! Of course, we did get to watch THE Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team knock off #1 seed Syracuse. Go Buckeyes. Up next, either Tarheels, or Kansas. Either way, final four baby!!!
Although, Abilene is the prettiest town that I've ever seen, and the women here don't treat you mean, it is now Sunday morning and we are getting ready for the next leg of our journey which will take us out in the west Texas town of El Paso. I intend to fall in love with a mexican girl at Rosa's cafe'!
More later!
