Travel Journal Day 3...

We arrived Wednesday afternoon none the worse for wear... except for being a bit hot... yep it was in the 70's yesterday when we got to Dallas and today's suppose to be up closer to 90.  As we drove through the day I kept turning the heat to a little cooler temp and finally had to switch it to AC.  Everyone keeps telling me it's going to get cold again over the weekend... down to 50... LOL - like 50's gonna feel cold! 

We left TN about 7:00 am and arrived here at the hotel at 5:00 pm.  It's fun to drive south and watch the change from late winter to early spring.  I'm going to enjoy being here over the next several weeks... watching spring emerge.  The hotel has pansies planted around... I love pansies!

And a funny from yesterdays trip...

On the radio - a buy one get one free Ad!  Now when you think BOGO you usually think shoes, or meals, or sweaters... but did you ever think body parts?  Yep - if you buy a 'laser treatment' you get a free laser treatment for another body part?!  Really... underarms, bikini, etc.  - and they have all sorts of 'package deals'.  Buy one, Get one free... LOL  Who knew!?

Oh and I feel a little like a dork... Seems 70 MPH is fairly standard as it was not only posted in TN, but in Arkansas and Texas!  I haven't done a road trip out here since the early 90's.  Who knew?

And the sky... yep it's here just like I remember it.  As the land flattened and the sky filled in the gaps left by the mountains and rolling hills - I wondered how glorious it must be in Montana where they boast about it being 'Big Sky Country'.  Some day I'll have to head out there and take a peek.  In the mean time I'm enjoying the flat land and open sky...
