I think we're on day 3 of our journey. idk.. I've lost track of the dates already. But we are in Texas now! We made it to Houston safely. We were stupid and set it up for a drive into the city during rush hour traffic. ehhh. BUT.. we did witness a car chase. Seriously. It was this run down truck that drove past us and then a cop came zipping by and for a solid 10 minutes we watched it trail the truck. But then we got stuck in traffic and had to pay a toll so we ended up losing the chase, but it was still a good time.
Last night we went back to the hotel to watch Glee and once it was over we got ready and went out to experience the New Orleans night life. Unfortunately for Carly, almost every place was 21 and over and so she legally could not get in anywhere. We did find one place though where we were all but dragged into, so they never carded us. It ended up being a really fun place. There was a live band that was playing some classic old music and we danced and hung out for a good hour or so. There are definitely some characters in New Orleans... I'll just leave it at that.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Lucky Dogs, but they are apparently really popular in New Orleans, so after we got tired and decided to head back to the hotel, we found a Lucky Dogs stand and decided to get a late-night snack. It was an amusing experience. And the Lucky Dogs were actually really, really tasty
Getting out of New Orleans was really easy and the drive into Texas was pretty uneventful. I drove for the first leg of it and then we pulled over for gas and Subway. Carly drove the rest of the way and parts of Texas/Houston were a little on the stressful side, but all in all it was an easy drive.
The Texas welcome center when we crossed the state line was oddly amazing. There was a lot to do and we ended up staying a good 30 minutes just to hang out. It is Tourist Appreciation Week or whatever and so inside they were serving punch and cookies and other goodies. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I like Texas.
