Traveling from Lafayette to Dallas

     This was a pretty boring day, as we drove 400 miles from Lafayette, LA to Dallas and were on I49 or I20 almost the entire way. Interesting scenery was virtually non-existent, and outside of stopping at the Louisiana Welcome Center (near Alexandria in the MIDDLE of the state, no less) and Texas (larger than life size, as one might expect), the only other interruptions were rest stops or gas stops. Weather was supposed to be rainy and miserable. It wasn't; only liquid on the the RV came from smashed bugs! It was sunny, but very, very windy; coming across Texas, for the most part, Jim could only do 55-60 mph in a 70 mph zone because of the wind. Oh, update on mileage--we've now traveled 3201 miles and are average 15.7 mpg!!
     Arrived at Jeff and Lea's house around 6pm, and let Rosie get acquainted first with Winston, Jeff &  Lea's King Charles Spaniel. They hit it off fine, though there was a bit of a mishap. Rosie decided to take a drink out of their backyard pool and leaned forward too far, and splash! She swam to the side, and with a little assistence climbed out. Wasn't a real happy puppy, particularly when we put her in the RV alone to dry out and cool off (she's VERY excited being here and finding all kinds of new toys!) Then Winston met Dudley (10 pounds vs 150 pounds!), and they also are doing fine. Dudley is fascinated by this little dog running around, and Winston is a wee bit intimidated but doing OK. After our Pizza dinner, Dudley retired to their deck out back while Rosie stayed inside to play with Winston's toys. Winston persisted in following Rosie from room to room barking, until Lea picked him up and held him. All in all, the dogs are doing great!
After dinner Beth helped Jim set up the RV, and she is fascinated by it and is sleeping on the spare bed with us in it tonight. In fact, she went out early to read in bed after getting in her pajamas, as she thinks it's really cool!
     No new pictures today. Outside of the arrival excitment here with the dogs and the grandkids, can't say we saw much on the drive worth photographing!
