Road trip!!

Nothing like a road trip!

 The car is packed!  All four of us found our place in the car—driver, navigator/educator ride in front; two more in the back seat—I’m happy to ride as a back seater so my hands can be flying with yarn through my fingers!  I’ll get some knitting finished is my goal. 

If you are the front seat navigator/educator, it is your duty and responsibility to keep other passengers abreast of any road side attractions, historical markers, wildflower sightings, places of interest and of course, it is their duty to find good places to rest stop and eat. 

Back seat riders can heckle, taunt, bring attention to any wrong turns; and nap!  After two or three hours, we’ll swap seat assignments. 

Our trip takes us northeast—across Texas!  Hopefully, we’ll make our first night lodging in good time—it’s a must to have some wine and snacks before dinner time. 

First stop—load up on breakfast tacos from our favorite taco truck—Tex Taco.  Just a little off the beaten path but oh so good!  

We’re on back roads through Texas.  So many quaint, interesting small towns along the way.  One stop for lunch was Jefferson, TX.  We chose Caddo Lake Eatery—there was a pot of pinto beans on the back table, sign—“one bowl per person”  yum! Yum!  Menu item was cornbread salad!  One order was cornbread square for our beans!  We walked short three blocks to double deck red bus for cupcake creations. 

We had a good history lesson about this small Texas town.

On the road again—arriving to our destination. First night stop in Little Rock, Arkansas.  What to eat here?  Always the question!! 

Possum pie!  Oh my! Possum? Really?  Not really—possum pie is a rich chocolatey dessert—

For breakfast—chocolate gravy over biscuits!  No way!  But, I’ll try it once. 

Onward we go—
