Heading North

We discovered we had a dead battery the day before we left. So my handyman husband went to Walmart and bought a battery and put it in so we are in good shape.
There are only two of us..... plus two dogs.

Maddie and Mitzi had the run of the two back seats. Maddie stayed up front most of the time.

This is the toll road around Austin. From Buda all the way to Georgetown.
This sure beats the Austin traffic.

Heading for Ohio...
Plenty of rain in this area. This is Northeast Texas.

Raining, Raining. Remember Texas Family and friends. It's wet and brings out the green in everything.

Temp on mirror is 71 degrees. We are happy travelers.
All four in the front seat. Go figure... We made the back a very comfortable place for them.

I thought "oh no" when I first opened the blog. Thought you were broken down on the road. Thank goodness it happened before you left. Have a safe and fun trip. Maddie and Mitzi look like they're enjoying the ride!!

Love the dogs in the front seat! What great pictures. Can you believe how green it is in east Texas?

Oh my, how times have changed! There is no way dogs would have been allowed in the front seat on any of the road trips to Colorado with you guys! :o)

Looks like so much fun, I'm excited to see your progress (starting at the beginning so I don't read out of order).
