This was another LONG day of driving – over 9 hours. And on 3 hours sleep. Not pleasant. But we got there.
We did have some stops along the way. First, we got gas and coffee at a Flying J truck stop near our rest area overnight home. Then we stopped for gas a second time, at a Buc-ees in Mississippi. Buc-ees is always fun. Cheap gas, wonderful rest rooms and lots of tempting things to eat. But we only got ice (16 lbs for $1.99) and a souvenir for a friend. We also stopped at a Sam’s Club in Lake Charles LA to get some potato salad (Marlene loves that Sam’s potato salad) and a nearby liquor store to purchase a gift bottle of whiskey. Then on to our friends John and Deb in Beaumont TX.
