Trip Around Texas

Well Ronnie and I basically toured Texas these last couple of days...we went everywhere it seems like: Midlothian, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, and home! We left Thursday morning really early and headed to some truck place in Midlothian. We had to be there by 8 am...so needless to say, I was sleeping the whole time. :) Then we went to Austin to eat, shop just a smidge, get Orange Cup, and tour the Capital. Here are some pics that I took.....the first one is walking up to the Capital and then the second one is my fav....I was looking up to the ceiling! I love this one!!!!!


Then we headed to San Antonio to stay the night, eat on the riverwalk, and relax for one night! Well, the riverwalk was nice! I don't know what my deal is, but I LOVE eating outside at places like that! We ate mexican food of course :) My fav thing to eat!!! We were gonna go to the Alamo...yes like a bunch of tourists...BUT we forgot. There was some problems with some trucks or something, so from like 2am to 6am, he was on the phone with different people for whatever work reason! UGH!
We woke up Friday and drove to Alice, Texas, where all the trucks are stationed at. He had to pick up some stuff, drop off some stuff, meet some new driver, meet with some people...yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah....I was sleeping in the truck.
We FINALLY got to Corpus Christi around suppertime on Friday! Ate at Joe's....Ronnie downed 4 pounds of crawfish...SICKO! I mean, how can you eat that stuff! I know that they are dead and all....but they are staring at you while you eat them! YUCKY!



Then we drove around and looked at the houses on the beach....this was my FAVORITE! The picture doesn't do it justice AT ALL!


We woke up Saturday morning....ok ok ok....we woke up at noon on Saturday and went to the beach for the afternoon! SOOOOOO nice and relaxing! I need to live on the beach somewhere....I think that I wouldn't be as stressed out...but then I may not be able to keep a job because I wouldn't want to leave the house! Ha! Here are a couple of pics that I took while there. I didn't bring the charger for my real camera....so everything is courtesy of the iPhone!

We ate at Landry's that night, and walked along the beach wall. Weather was perfect! I loved every second of it! We woke up a little earlier the next day. We went and toured the USS Lexington.....bad idea in the summer with NO MOVING AIR! OMG! SOOOOO HOT! But it was cool to see all that stuff. I only took a few pics...but here they are!


We finished the day off with a cheeseburger and a long trip home....ok ok ok we stopped for Orange Cup in Houston and I got 2...THERE...YOU HAPPY! I admitted it!

All in all, we had a great time! Always great to get away and spend time with each other! And we are both still alive! HA! Oh wait! I almost forgot my most favorite picture from the USS Lexington! I am sure that you will see why! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
