Title: Road Trip
Post by: Crapdealerbob on July 22, 2013, 02:25:10 PM

  I took a road trip without Donna, so I'm posting it here.  Donna needed to stay home and get some things done, plus , she said it was too hot!

  I followed my sister in her car to Baton Rouge, then went on my merry way for the rest of the trip.

  The route: http://goo.gl/maps/3jAvj (http://goo.gl/maps/3jAvj)

  Ready to go.  Off to Baton Rouge, LA.

  On the road - west Texas still my most un-favorite road ever!

  My sister Debbie, me, my mom, and sister Eileen and a few frosty beverages.

  My old coffee pals and former police officers.  Same stories, just more grey hair!

  I spent over a week there, helping my mom & sisters with my late fathers estate & clearing out some of his stuff.  Also had a fun dinner with some of my old Baton Rouge Police Dept. co-workers.  Fresh seafood, boy do I miss that!
