An early breakfast, and we were off. It was a beautiful day for driving, and all seemed well. We made pretty good time and agreed that we would not stop for long breaks today. We found a pastry shop for a lunch break--Paul's Pastry Shop--that fit the bill, and got food for the road plus some raisin pecan bread to take to Natalie's.
Our biggest problem today was the frequent road construction. We kept finding areas with reduced speeds, single lane, etc. We could have made much better time if they had given the road crews time off for the holiday.
We finally made it to Galveston about 8:30 p.m., after calling Natalie for assistance in finding the best route. We took a local road that seemed endless, but was much shorter than the alternative of going all the way to Houston.
Hooray!
