Well we left Dickinson, Texas near Houston today. Yesterday was rainy, 60 degrees and we decided we were better off inside instead of running around Johnson Space Center. So we have a reason to come back here another year.

We took a nice route out of the area this morning. We could have taken route 45 toward Houston to connect to route 10. We didn't need to be in the traffic heading toward Houston at 8:30 in the morning. So we took this drive that kinda goes around the Galveston Bay to get to route 10. It was very pretty. We were glad we didn't take the expressway.

Driving along route 10 in Louisana was a real surprise. You hear about swamp, bayou and etc. but to see all this water was something. The bridge that spans all this area just goes on and on. You'll see one of the shots that shows the water in-between the two different directions of roads.

We are at Livington, Louisana tonight. Will go a little ways to the east and then head north on route 55 through Mississippi.

We miss the family. Not to mention our grandchildren. Barbara Jean had her 13th birthday while we were gone. Monday night TJ hurt his knee, he is on crutches - will see what happens with that. But Grandma is ready to get home to her family.

I must say, this has been a great trip. We have seen so much and enjoyed it all. But we have really found we love the southwest more than Florida. Why is it so far away???

I just read this to Bob. His comment was-- "If we moved to Oklahoma the southwest isn't that far". Very funny!!!!!
