Completing the Dreaded Drive

Yesterday we finished the 2nd of two straight 8+ hour driving days, and we are very happy to be done with it. We knew that this was the dreaded part of the trip, so it was nice when we pulled into Plano and finally got to Shanya's, Kristal's friend, family home.

The drive from Van Horn to Plano was pretty standard. We stopped in Odessa to grab lunch at Rosa's Cafe and Tortilla Factory. Yelped raved about their tortillas, and I must say that while the food was solid, the tortillas were the highlight. Other then that, the drive was full of podcasts and desert viewings, all while once again taking it easy with Cruise Control doing most of the work.

Once we got into Plano, we went to a burger joint called Scotty P's, where I got a mushroom burger that was quite good while Kristal opted for a simple Grilled Cheese sandwich. So far the food on this trip has been fantastic we have yet to have a sub par meal which hopefully will continue throughout the trip. From there, we went to a bowling alley that Shanya's dad owns. I think this is the first alley I've ever seen that was open 24 hours a day. Kristal bowled well in both rounds, winning the 2nd after getting 2nd in the 1st. I also reached my standard goal of 100 in every bowling game, getting 108 in the first round and 106 in the 2nd. After that, we enjoyed some good old fashioned Texas karaoke that included me singing "Don't Stop Believing" and a rather disturbing almost TMI version of Usher's "Nice and Slow." But the highlight was a rather graphic interpretation of Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Sweet Transvestite" where everyone in our group got in the act. Truly a site to behold.

Well that's it for me. Stay tuned as we will recap a great visit to the 6th floor museum which chronicles JFK's time as president, and goes into detailed description of his assassination and the aftermath. Thanks for reading!
