Oh how I love those long, lonely, lazy days driving to Houston. No traffic to speak of until Houston. This time we detoured through some fantastic back roads and we stopped alongside the roads to shoot wildlife, flowering yucca and wild flowers. Okay, sometimes I had to shoot pictures out the window at 60-70 MPH but we did more spontaneous stops than EVER before. Check out the updated convertible in the dusty town of Van Horn. The next morning we took a scenic road to Fort Davis. Larry had not been there since he was a little person. Farther along highway 90 we toured Judge Roy Bean's Visitor Center where he became a legend practicing his own brand of justice. We spent an hour at one Texas rest stop that had nature paths and a playground for the kids. Wow! The days we spent at Bob and Penni's new house in Deer Park were filled with family, good food and lots of challenging card games. Many thanks to them for a great visit. On the way home we spent a night outside Austin with Larry's Uncle Glenn and Aunt Harriet and got caught up on their family news. All in all it was almost a 2 week trip. It was
great!
