Baytown Tx Just East of Houston

Well, here we are at our final stop in Texas. Yesterday we mentioned that we had an appointment to fix our window today but it could have been any time from 8am to 5 pm. I had set an alarm last night to wake me up so I could call at 8am and see if we could beg for a morning appointment, but it turned out to be unnecessary. At 7:15 we received a text from the repairman saying he would be at our site at 7:30 because he felt we would want to get on our way. At 7:35 he knocked on the door and began repairing the window. He showed us a second crack as well. At 8:16 he was done and gone.

We left Corpus at 10:16 and for a brief moment thought of going back to Schertz and surprising Marjorie and Mom again. We didn't, just turned off and started our drive to Baytown. Stopped for fuel at a Buc-ees, a place I mentioned in an earlier post. Fuel prices everywhere we saw were over $3, but at Buc-ees we paid $2.47/gallon. A great savings!

The ride went well until we got to Houston. They had blocked off the exit we needed which backed up traffic for miles. We went nine tenths of a mile in one hour. Overall we lost almost two hours due to traffic. Finally was able to get off highway 59, worked our way around and got to Interstate 10 and on to our destination, where we will stay until Tuesday morning, when we head to Mississippi.

The weather here should be in the mid 70's, although with a high chance of rain, but maybe we can get to the pool tomorrow or Monday.
