A long day of driving, just trying to make tracks. If you ever wanted to know, its 560 miles from Vicksburg, MS to Abilene, TX.

We decided to be methodical and planned to stop every 100 miles for a “P&I break.” Use your imagination to figure what the “P” is for and the “I” means to rest our eyes from the road.  At our 300 mile break we also had the special of the day at the Cracker Barrel for lunch and trucked out again.

I wish I could have stolen a picture of the stunning Texas prairie sunset tonight, but by the time we got to the hotel it was passed.

So, for your pleasure, here are the sights from 3 Texas rest stops.

Our son is doing well but anxious for this all to be over.  So say we all!
