Monday we went to work as usual when our boss Don decided that we could begin our month long vacation a half day early. At noon we arrived back at the motor home and finished packing the car and about 1:30 in the afternoon started our trek to the East coast. We had planned to leave on the following day very early in the morning so this half day on the road gave us a leg up on the trip. We managed to get to the west side of Huston where we stopped for the night. At times in the afternoon it tried to rain and although it was a very cold day, this did not deter. For dinner we went out for Italian food which was very good. We did see a sign along the way about the Baptist Church's Pumpkin Patch. We wondered what that was about but did not stop to learn the details. I do hope that the Church has a nice patch and celebrates with the Charlie Brown character Linus as he sits in his pumpkin patch and awaits the Great Pumpkin.
Today it dawned cold and rainy. It rained the entire day which made travel very tricky. Eighteen wheel trucks raised a fine cloud of water droplets that made it almost impossible to see more than a few feet ahead at a time. I was quite tired when we stopped short of our destination of Montgomery, AL by about 70 miles. We will just have to get started early tomorrow. We walked through the rain to a restaurant next door for a steak, baked potatoes and a plate of salad. No dessert though. Happy travels.
