Happy Anniversary to us!

Last night was another great night. It was quiet with no one running a generator in our ear all night.

By 7:30 we were on the road again. If you ever get to Lake Charles you will surely remember the stupidly tall bridge that goes over the water. There is no way any ship will have any problem getting under it. Someone either was out to prove something by building it this tall or there is a good reason for it. Make sure you look at the photos. I hope it gives you some idea of the height of this thing. Even approaching it, we wondered if we would be able to make it up that steep of a grade! Besides the bridge all you can from the interstate are refineries and huge cranes.

Welcome to Texas. The welcome center became our breakfast stop of the day. With dishes washed and everything back in place we continue on.

Yes, we have been in a push to get to Big Bend where we can put down roots for a few days. So the blog is lacking some of the details as the last one but it will improve.

1:15pm finds us in Houston. There are 16 lanes. I’m so glad Thomas likes to drive. After that a nap is called for. LOL

Refreshed, on the road again and yes awake we come upon a bridge to nowhere! It was half built and they just stopped! Watch out for that last step!

Our Anniversary night was in Sequin, Texas. We decided to splurge and got a chicken and potato salad at WalMart. Ohhh, it was so good! Until now, we have been having fast to cook foods and sandwiches to keep cleanup to a minimal. So the chicken was a delight.

No other RV’s are here and the place they told us to park was close to a Fed Ex truck. So this should be another good night.

Happy Trails until we talk again…
