Memories from Texas & Louisiana | Grand Trip Out West

(click here to start at the beginning, then click "Newer Post" at the bottom)

We had a quiet last few days of our trip as we drove down through Colorado, the NE corner of New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana...and then we finally made it home. One more post after this. :)


This was actually about the only fire we saw in Colorado. We are so thankful that the LORD kept us safe from wildfires!


You'd never believe this was New Mexico, but in the northeastern corner of the state there is a large area of grassland. It's beautiful!


We finally made it back to Texas!


And we stayed in Wichita Falls again, so hey! Remember that sign? :)  
Beautiful sunset...


Fort Worth!


You know you're back in Texas when you see a Papasitos AND a Pappadeaux!


And, of course, since In-N-Out is in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area...we had to eat there one last time.


Glad to be (almost) back in the South, I got a cup of sweet tea for the first time in weeks. It was so good. :)


If your mouth isn't watering, something's gotta be wrong. :)


Raise your hand if you know who Van Cliburn was!


We spent an enjoyable couple of hours at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. It's free admission, and houses a large collection of beautiful paintings and sculptures by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell.

Seeing this picture isn't like seeing the painting in person- you feel like the horses are going to run right over you!




Francis Marion and his troops


The Yosemite Valley - it was neat to see such a beautiful painting of a place we had seen on our trip!


The outside of the museum.


There was a beautiful sunset over the campground we stayed at in Conroe, Texas (north of Houston).





We were so glad to be on the road towards home!


If you haven't had gumbo, please come to my house and ask my sister to make you some. She'll be more than happy to!




Here's us and our happy-to-be-back-in-Louisiana faces. :)


Hey! Remember that bridge? We saw it last summer!


I finally learned on this trip that it's pronounced A-CHA-fa-LYE-uh.

It was like heaven staying in Carencro (and if you know how to pronounce that, please say so in the comments). It was so beautiful and green...




Crepe myrtles!

Such beautiful cypress trees.

You have no idea how LOUD the crickets, bullfrogs, and cicadas were!

For the love of travel,
