Day 2: So we slept well and we got up at 5 AM (CST) to head out for Houston. We ate the hotel breakfast, loaded up the car, then went on our way.

The drive was just a drive until we got close to Texas and the rain kicked in. It wasn’t bad, though there were a few times when vision was unclear and people were close to killing each other trying to merge lanes blindly. The rain cleared up and we came close to Houston to find smog and pollution and more fun traffic.

Lots of fun traffic. Today (3/15) I discovered a nifty option in the GPS: AVOID TOLL ROADS. We were led into an easy tag toll road that requires a special sticker to get through or you get fined… we’re supposed to call again in a few days once it registers in their system to clear it up. Glad to have the option now though, and everything is going to get worked out for the toll from before so no worries.

Day 3: Lynn went with her mom to go get groceries while I stayed here with Noah and Lynn’s brother. We ended up spending most of the day here, but you can read more about that day on Aithyne.net.

Day 4: We got up today and I took a wonderful shower then went out to Wal-Mart to grab a few things. I received a phone call in the parking lot from my mom with some pretty crappy (and heartbreaking) news. It’s been bugging me today but I’m getting past it. Anyway, later we went to Lynn’s aunt’s house and spent time with a lot of her family. We had a lot of fun and everybody loves him so much!

He had so much fun that in the end:

We went out to Pappadeaux with Alexa (Lynn’s cousin) and her boyfriend and enjoyed a crazy meal together. Noah enjoyed it and was introduced to a new love: Lemonade! Lynn and I enjoyed a wonderful meal of alligator tail and crab fingers. Nomnomnom.

I’ve avoided pictures of me so far, so here’s one of me looking crazy at Pappadeaux:

 

The trip has been a blast so far, and I have no doubt that there is plenty more excitement to come!
