We left Fisher, Illinois at 8:30 in the morning. The weather was quite warm for Illinois. As we were driving we were trying to decide if we should drive to Colorado for Mayann’s memorial service or try to fly on Monday.
We decided to fly and then continue to drive south. We then offered to pick up dad at the doubletree hotel from his bus ride Houston.
We only made it as far as Texarkana, arriving at the hotel at 8pm.
On Saturday, we drove on into Dallas. We watched planes land at Love Field. Beautiful day. 80 degrees. Picked dad up and drove him on home. We unpacked then drove back to Tyler.
We drove approximately 1,800 miles in just the past 5 days.. good to be home for a day before we have to leave again for the Avant retiree memorial service. Fun to have Amanda and Libby here in Texas a few days and also great to spend Christmas with Ellen and her family.Read more
