Road Trip to TEXAS

After weeks of activities we packed up AGAIN and headed home... well our old home Colorado and literally camped in B's office for a few days to get it pack up. Thank goodness for Lifetime we were able to get a hot shower everyday. a few have asked "why not just stay in a hotel?" well I guess if you hadn't already been in a hotel for 3 weeks that would make since but I was too cheap to spend the money on a good hotel and too much of a germ-a-phobieac to sleep in a cheap hotel, so the office it was. Even though it was a bit weird, it was actually quite comfortable.

Packing up our U haul at B's office which carried some few essential things. Douba and Hamburger looked like complete orphans I am sure but who cares...We didn't, they we happy.


On the Road again - to begin our 2 long day drive into the middle of Texas. It was a really interesting drive into Texas. Someone said once that you really spend a day just getting into Texas and they weren't kiddin! We took a rather rural route, at least that is what it felt like. Small town after small town, dead with activity except the ones traveling through much like ourselves, literally in the middle of nowhere. So many of these towns clearly were bustling little towns once upon a time with cute little main streets and shops and diners and now most of them are boarded up, lonely and silent. It would be fun to explore those towns more. I know this might seem a bit strange but one of my lifelong dreams is to go on a road trip and explore abandoned buildings and homesteads. I was just dieing to jump out of our car and explore so many of these towns, maybe someday!

Home Again Home Again Riggity Jig! Alas we arrive in Austin on a rainy Thursday night a balmy 77 degrees. We were so glad to be home.

AND I must say, I would be happy if I never, ever had to see one of these again! EVER! When you are in the middle of nowhere they sure know where to stick it to ya! Is anyone else tried of ridiculous gas prices??? maybe just me? One too many road trips may have done us in for a while.
