Travelling in Texas

 

 

 

  My brother looks out the window and says, "When I look out the window and see bales of hay and get this queasy feeling that I'm in redneck country."

 

  Last week we went on vacation, travelling through Texas and into Oklahoma to see family. Wednesday we left Houston and headed towards Stephenville to see Dad's uncle. On the way we stopped at a rest stop in Huntsville that was so cool we spent an hour there. There was so many great pictures to be taken, I may have contributed to that long rest stop.

 

  

 

  I think this was a proto-type for the big Sam Houston statue on I-45.

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

  Anyone who has travelled down I-45, seen this statue, and wanted to stop and look at it: you should have stopped. It is impressive. The light came up through the trees at just the right angle when I went to take the picture on the bottom. After that we had one long car trip ahead of us.

 

  After visiting my Dad's uncle in Stephenville, TX, the first day of vacation ended in a little town in Texas somewhere staying in the Quality Inn which really was an inn of quality. And so ended our first day of vacation.
