The LB and I are almost ready to hit the road and head off to see the grand girls up in Peoria. We are tidying up things at work today and will get away sometime this afternoon. The bad news is that it is a two day drive for us old folks and that is a long time to wait to see those cute little girls. The good news is this gives us two days of being together, free from interruptions, and able to catch up on all that subtle emotional stuff that sometimes gets bypassed in the day-to-day bustle of working.
Our plan is pretty simple...get to Peoria the quickest way possible. Fortunately, there are a number of options which let us see different scenery while still making good time. Our first milestone is getting out of Texas. For those who are used to some of the miniscule northeastern states(they would be called counties here) this may not sound like much. However, we live close to the center of Texas, and it is a 5 hour run to the border at Interstate speeds. After that, we set out across the Red River and plunge into foreign lands. Where we stop...who knows!?!
