DAY 4 … Happy Valentines Day!
My romantic husband surprised me and E T with treats. How sweet, BUT I say to him “Isn’t that the box of chocolates that my friend, Sylvia, gave me before we left?” All I got in response was a sheepish grin. Thank you, Sylvia! The other half of the bone was my Valentine gift to E T, she’d already ate it before the photo op!
Early morning start 7:3O a.m. This is going to be our last “push day” of over 500 miles. Thank goodness the scenery finally changes.
Our only gas stop of the day is off I 10 in Beaux Bridge, LA (6O.5 gal $1.36 $82.95). My story of the day is from the Texas Visitor Center. Walking up to the entrance there is a HUGE sign, WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES. So, I ask the Information Clerk, “What kind of snakes should I be watching for?” He says, “Well Mam, we have over 8,000 acres of swamp out back there. I guess you should be watching for any kind of snake that lives in a swamp.” I’m still thinking about that answer.
Today was a photo day and free wifi at the campground where we are spending the night, hence the slide show.
We stopped in Beaumont, Texas for the night at the Gulf Coast RV Resort (Exit 845 off I 10) only 3 miles off the highway. This is the deal of the trip so far $25.50 for full hook up and breakfast in the morning. We are less than 300 miles form our first “destination”.
Next Stop … Mustang Island, Texas
