And the Return Trip to Austin (7/17-18)

Monday, we dropped Mary Anne off at Jackson International Airport, and the kids and I cruised across Louisiana and down to Lufkin. It was an easier trip, mainly because you can drive 70 mph on I-20 across Louisiana. We took our time, because we could, and even stopped in Nacogdoches for a visit with my friend Bob at his sign shop. The kids got a kick out of Bob and his stories. That was pretty much the highlight of the trip, sadly.

Tuesday, after watching the Alpe d'Huez stage of the Tour, we finished off the long journey by heading back to Austin. We were glad to be home, and except for the pile of mail and virtual pile of e-mail, it was pretty painless. Home again, home again! We picked up Ranger and Mittens, and they were both very happy to be out of the kennel and back in their house.
