By 7:15.....both of us were up and moving around. The coffee was done, but I didn't take the time to drink it then....just put it into my VERY old Stanley Green Thermos.....to keep it warm for later. And.....by 8:20, we, with TheHowserHouse, were on our way out the security gate of the resort and a few minutes later we were pulling onto the highway.
Harlingen, Raymondville, Kingsville, and we reached our halfway point for the day at Victoria, TX. We stopped to refuel, grabbed a couple of burgers, and were off again......moving northward. For most of the morning the winds were giving us hell......blasting us from the side which would then slightly push us sideways.......something we had to correct which made it necessary to stay aware of these little problems......very intensely!!!
About 2pm or so, we reached the outskirts of Houston......and for about the next hour we moved at a 60 mph pace through Houston. Really......it was a piece of cake!!!! No problems and the traffic while there, was not heavy nor jammed.......probably because today is Sunday!
We arrived just a few miles outside of Beaumont, TX a few minutes after 4pm.....pulled into this very neat and clean rv resort where we had reservations for over-nighting for tonight. LARGE concrete pads for our rigs, plenty of room to get into them without any problems, free Wifi, good cable tv, free continental breakfast each morning, pool....but a bit too cool, ......and, all of this for $17.50!!!!! Yep.......a great deal!!!
Tonight, rains are supposed to move in and we should be in them all day tomorrow.....UGH!!!!! While today was a 450 mile day, tomorrow should be about 100 miles less over to the Biloxi, MS, area. And that is good to hear!!!
OK.....a good day, a bit of a tiring day, but we are relaxed this evening in our den, watching a movie on TV, the fireplace taking the chill off in here, and soon......we will head upstairs to get some rest. Another day of driving tomorrow.......(in the rains??).
LIFE IS REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
