This morning Paul got up at 3:00 am. Then we were on the road about 4:15 am. I definitely climbed back into the bunk for a while. Only this time, we were on a BUMPY road. I mean I was bouncing around in the bed for about 2 hours. I finally asked Paul if we could stop for a quick break so I could get up, get dressed, and go to the potty. Crazy Morning!
At some point in the day we will be passing by or going through these three cities.
The over passes are amazing in Texas.
Wolf Ranch? I wonder if there are really any wolves there...

I miss you Grammy Thompsom
Such ornate walls
Here is another one of those reminders that we are in God's hands.
Another Rock Quarry
Some factories off in the distance.
This is an entrance to a neighborhood. All the entrances are very elaborate, especially the Ranches.
This might be a cool place to visit.
Hey, it's an armadillo on the sign. We did see one on the road- dead. It's like our possums.

And yet another message. Thanks God for reminding us to Think about you.
Just so fancy on the overpasses here.
We are on the home stretch.
Wish we could actually see this. I hear it is smaller than you would think.
Check out this system of overpasses. Kind of spooky if you ask me.

This is our exit. We are going to the Melton Terminal here in Laredo.
Our truck getting a check over before we can enter the terminal.
Got a picture of my sweet Liam again.
Here is Aunt Holly holding baby Reilly. Two of my best girls.
So we settled in at the terminal for the night. Paul went to unload his trailer and I stayed and did Laundry. We ordered pizza and then went back to the truck. We will be getting a new load to go to Utah. Can you believe it? We are going to get to go through New Mexico too. I think after this run, I am requesting a transfer back to Chesapeake.
I am ready to go home and see my grandbabies and my children.
Good Night!
Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Kristi, I am getting caught up on your adventure. Schlitterbahn is actually a waterpark -- supposedly one of the best in the world. David has been wanting to go there for years. Also, the Alamo IS very small, not at all what you would expect. Sounds like you are having fun and enjoying your trip. What an interesting way to see the country! Barbara
