We enjoyed a beautiful day yesterday driving south to and then through the Mississippi coast.  When we left the motel yesterday morning, the tire light came on; we got air; then it came on again as we were driving along the coast.  Fortunately, in both cases, we were within a mile of a tire repair shop.   The second shop found that we had a big staple in the tire and fixed it for free--so I'm very grateful that it didn't happen on one of our long drives on unfamiliar roads.

By the tine we reached Covington, we were so tired we grabbed a room in the first motel we saw--a Best Western.  The room had such a noxious smell of cleaners that we had to get up and move to another motel at 11:00.

Comfort Motel never lets us down.

So today we just drove, straight, thinking we could make it to San Antonio.  But after three hours in Houston traffic, and after chicken fried steak at Luby's in Katy, we decided to get a motel in Sealy and drive the last couple of hours tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing our little witch when we get home!
