It was off to Texas today. We enjoyed the drive through Mississippi and Louisiana and Texas today. Near Baton Rouge, we encountered thunder storms. We spent about 30 minutes in heavy rain. We would have been more impressed by the storm, but after that Day One storm in Nebraska, this wasn't as impressive.
When we crossed the border into Texas, the sign said "El Paso, 895 miles." Even with our adventures, that seemed like a long way and we hadn't yet encountered a state that we couldn't get across in one day.
In any case, we made it to my sisters house in Houston. There we were warmly (and noisily) welcomed. They fed us our favorite food that they had introduced us to years ago: Sloopies. They are a tostada like meal that has Bean and Bacon soup mixed with sausage as the base. It is really tasty. We had great visit and left three of the kids to spend the night, while the rest of us retreated to a hotel. We will be back in the morning for more fun and visiting.
