Katy, TX

No, I didn't forget how to spell my grand-daughter's name.  This is where we ended up today after leaving Char's home in Pensacola.  George III was on a camping trip and JT was sound asleep when we left, so we had to settle for bidding a fond adieu to Char.  Left the Florida panhandle, crossed AL, MS, and LA before hitting the Texas border.  It's kind of disheartening when you cross the border and see a mileage marker of 873.  Boy, it's a long way across Texas!!!!

Good day of driving - no real challenges, it was just I-10, get off, eat, get on I-10, get off, gas up, get on I-10, eat, get on I-10, get off I-10, gas up, get back on I-10, get off I-10, check into hotel.  Somehow I think we're going to be doing that for the next three days :-). 

Hit a few sprinkles as we ended the day, but the rest of the day was just clear sailing with only a few clouds in the sky.  Not much exciting in the way of scenery.  When you stay on the Interstate, you could be anywhere USA - two lanes with trees on either side.  Occasionally, you do see some of the countryside, but it could be anywhere in the US.  Coming through Mississippi, we traveled a long distance on elevated highways over the swamps (except they call them bayous down here).  Not much elevation - the only high spots are where the Interstate crosses another road, river, or railroad.

Our plans are pretty much dependent on the weather.  If it's nice tomorrow, we'll stop at San Antonio, play golf, and then head out the next day.  Otherwise, we'll just continue on through Texas until we get tired and see where we are.
