Today was as perfect a day for travel as you could ever imagine. The weather was beautiful and the traffic was light. And it was all so unexpected.
Our plans were to leave the lake on Tuesday, but this morning, while I was still drinking coffee in the bedroom, I mentioned to Ken that we might want to drive a few hours today, just because we had done everything needed in Texas and we were not seeing the family again this visit. He agreed. I did the laundry and changed the sheets while Ken closed up the hot tub and loaded the car. By 12:30 we were driving away, heading to Mississippi, happy as larks
Texas wildflowers were everywhere today. I am going to miss them. Our route took us along highway 79 which is an old modern road. In other words, it is pre interstate where the road takes you through farm land but where the road is wide and in good condition. The wild flowers are on both sides of the highway and even across the fields. It was my intention to drive two or three hours today, but the driving conditions were excellent so we drove almost six hours, which was probably not smart. Once we get started, it is difficult to get Ken stopped! We are staying at a Baymont Inn and Suites, in Henderson. Our room is large and lovely and cost $100. But the best part of staying in Henderson is the accents of the people. Even I can barely understand them. It is a stitch. It is worth staying here just to hear the locals talk. All in all, it was a lovely drive in the countryside of Texas.
