I must have Gypsy blood running through my veins

If you know me well.....you know it's no secret that we LOVE to travel.

Actually, if you don't know me very well and read ANYTHING that I post -- you'll know that we LOVE to travel.

We just don't like to stay in any one place for very long. We love to seek out new destinations and learn new things about other places. So somewhere back in my family tree there must be a gypsy or two.

Recently we were fortunate enough to "eek" out some time and take a mini-vacation (as we like to call them) and head to another new destination. This time it was a road trip to Little Rock, Arkansas.

Here are some pictures chronologically marking this adventure. Once again, my husband and I exceeded my expecatations of relaxation, fun, and learning. We had a great time and saw some interesting places and best of all spent so much quality time riding in the Mustang for 1062.5 miles on a 3 1/2 day adventure!

Day 1 - Leave Spring, Tx at 11:55 p.m. The car, the cooler, and the snack basket are loaded and we are ready to go. First stop is gasoline (can't get very far without that).

Lunch was spent at the Cotton Patch restaurant in Lufkin, TX. We have eaten there on a previous trip (I think the last time we went to Shreveport) and the food is country, plentiful, and best of all.....delicious! We had Chicken Fried Steak.....what else would you have at a Country Cafe in Texas?

After lunch -- we hop in the car. Our next destination is Shreveport, Lousiana to burn off some of that "gambling fever".

We make it to Shreveport at approximately 5pm and highlight the occasion with a Facebook clue of a sign of downtown Shreveport (right outside the casino) and a photo of Paul getting his shoes out of the casino's parking garage. P.S. We usually travel with our shoes off.







After several hours of playing and gambling we decide to head out on the highway and get closer to our next destination. It's midnight and we leave for Hope, Arkansas. 2.5 hours later we arrive in Hope and find a hotel that is still open and has a vacancy and we put this first day of traveling to bed.

Okay......next post will be our visit to Little Rock!
