May 28th, things slow down

Today was the first day that things began to slow down. Since there was no agenda, we slept late and didn't check out til noon. The plan for today? Drive back to Houston.

Between Dallas and Houston, a statue stands in honor of Sam Houston. We just had to stop and check it out. It's a pretty cool statue but I liked the more accessible ground-level head.

Not much more to report as it was a pretty uneventful journey. We did stop for coffee at a Dairy Queen and met some guys that had ridden their motorcycles all the way from South Carolina. Once we got to Houston, we checked into our room, cleaned up a bit and headed out to dinner. If you ever have the opportunity, be sure to dine at Pappadeaux. My personal favorite is their Blackened Shrimp & Crawfish Fondeaux, served w/ garlic bread. On the way back to the hotel we stopped by a Super Walmart and grabbed some supplies with which to stock our kitchen.
