The intention was to bring the computer along and blog our road trip. The reality was in the frenzy of getting everyone in the car, the computer was forgotten. Perhaps a blessing in disguise. Undaunted - I will still blog our events - even though they aren't really happening right now. Not that our trip is so profound, but it gives me a way of reliving it if even for a moment. DAY ONE - We got the kids out of school an hour early so we could hit the road. Our plan was to shave a few hours off of the 10 hour trip. We assumed traffic would be bad and that our 3 hour first day could indeed be much longer. Reality - the drive wasn't that bad at all - in fact we could have driven more but we had reservations and checked into our hotel with the person at the front desk bearing the name tag "Steveo". Didn't want to ask if it was pronounced "Steve-O".
We drove around Stephen F. Austin University and realized that there is really nothing to do in the town but study. We did find "Texas' largest Azalea Trail" much to three teenagers delight. Handed my camera off to my son who took some great shots to make up for his lack of enthusiasm. I have a feeling "the azalea trail" will be left off their descriptions of vacation.
We ended day one with a trip to Dairy Queen where we saw more cowboy hats per capita than we have in all of our time in Texas.
