Seattle Bound: Houston to Lubbock

Travel day 1: 520 miles

We finally made it out of Houston today! A little later than anticipated, but better ready and tired than rushed and exhausted, especially with the kind of driving we have ahead of us.





It went like this, more or less. I would love to adjust the route to figure out exactly where we went, but the internet connection at our lush accommodations can’t seem to handle google maps.

The drive itself was really scenic and largely uneventful (what we’re looking for). We went through small towns with names like Bangs and Pole and something called Noodle Dome that was almost enough to pull us from our course to find out what it was. Casey is full to the brim and I have the pups, who have been surprisingly okay with the amount of driving we did today. After the past weeks of strange schedules and the contents of our apartment both moving around and disappearing, I think they’re just glad we’re all together.

As the sun started setting, the views were beautiful! The only catch is… we’re generally heading West. I’m pretty sure I helped power my car by flapping the visor from windshield to side window so often. Back to the front, side. Front, side, front, side, front, si- no, front still.

I would also like to mention that the walkie-talkies we bought last week is hands down our best Costco purchase ever.

Current task: try to fall asleep with our cars (and lives) in a hotel parking lot.
