On the Road to Galveston

Saturday
 - Road trip in the Jeep to just past Houston. Of course, we had to stop at Buc-ee’s for lunch  (and fuel) as there were several along the way. Lunch was chicken tenders w/barbecue sauce, fries, and a fried apple pie. All just fine. The only fail was the ranch dipping sauce for the chicken. I really dislike all bottled ranch dressing. The “homemade” version using mayonnaise, milk, and the bottled powder tastes so much better. 

We are stopping in Texas City which is near the bridge to Galveston with much cheaper hotels. Our boarding time is noon tomorrow. And the 20 mile trip will probably be take an hour. I suspect it’ll be crowded as the boat holds more than 7,000 passengers and crew. Hopefully, the ship isn’t full. 

There were several slowdowns on I-10 including one stretch where the Interstate was closed. All of the slowdowns were due to non-existent construction. I.e. nothing going on. Now that we arrived, it’s time to check my packing…
