At the last min my friend called me and asked me to go with her quick to TX. I had over a week of vac time left and thought.... eh.. why not?
First we had to drop the doggies off at the vet for boarding...
The first bigger city we went through was St. Louis ( Illinois is too boring for pictures).
We went through Tulsa and ended up staying the night in Oklahoma City. Thankfully the hotels we stayed in for the trip had fitness centers so I could still work out daily before we hit the road! Then we came to Dallas... and some wonderful weather!
And... we finally made it to Austin!! The reason for our trip??? My friends new lemonade/corn dog wagon!
We ended up staying the night in Austin while my friend decided to buy the wagon or not.. and the next morning we went to Home Depot. These birds were EVERYWHERE! They lined the trucks beds and roofs!
The guys just lined the road on all sides at Home Depot. The kept rushing my friends truck looking for work..
Well... She decided to purchase the wagon.. and we hooked up! Of course, this is when we were about to learn that the trailer was HEAVY and we could only do 50mph the whole ride home!!
Here's Dallas the next day, minus the rain!
We got a late start Thursday, so we only made it as far as Texarkana before we had to sleep again... here we are on our way to...
Yep that's right...
Well, just as we got into Little Rock we saw these little guys running down the freeway. We stopped and grabbed them and another woman stopped and we put them in the back of her SUV and she said she'd clean them up and had a perfect home in mind for them...
I wasn't paying attention to my picture taking.. so this is the only pic I got of Little Rock. It was my first time going through AR and it was prettier than I expected. MMM... and we had the best catfish and BBQ!
My attempt at a night pic of St. Louis...
As much as I can't stand WI ... this was a beautiful site to see!!!
Just some general pictures in WI
Thanks for looking!! Now I can just count down till my next trip out of state (27 days :) ).. i'll be staying away from driving though!!
