We got up at 8:30, and re-packed the car. We ended up taking the bikes in because when we closed the motel door, there was a sticker that said, "for your protection, use the deadbolt when in the room." While packing we met another couple, with a super cute doggie, that was also on a drive from SF to Florida. The lady was moving there to be closer to her family.
We started out on the road differently this time. Erin drove first. It was a steady, long, travel day, but there was a light at the end of the tunnel, per say. We got to get off I10. We took 290 through the texas hill country. It was literally rolling hills, like the caricature of the lock ness monster. Since we decided to get a host gift for everyone we stay with, we needed a gift for my Uncle Jim and Linda. On 290, we came into Fredricksburg, TX. About half a mile into town we came across, Choo Choo Patio Store. I dare say, this is the coolest store west of the Mississippi. Erin agrees. I could spend 2 days and many a thousand dollars at said store. We ended up staying and spending much less. BUt we got my Uncle and Aunt a great wine holder, and we got 3 iron texas stars.
We then got back on the road and headed to Austin for a brief stop, unfortunately we got little lost, but it was fine. We made it to Fentress by 7:30. If we thought Van Horn was in the middle of nowhere, Frentress makes it look like LA.
