After our last road trip we promised ourselves to limit our daily travel to 300ish miles.  400+ miles a day is not fun when you pull into a campground, set up, then prepare dinner.  Long travel days do not leave much time to enjoy the afternoon or relax in front of a roaring fire cooking S’Mores.

Our itinerary includes visiting friends and family.  Destinations are: South Padre Island; Houston; Georgetown, Texas; San Antonio; Big Bend National Park and Albuquerque.  I’m pretty certain I will like the Houston weather more than when we were there this past August.

Our three week trip is here.  This has been on our calendar for the past few months.  Even with that in mind it still snuck up on us.  The initial route; go to northern WI to visit family, dashing west to SD to see the Badlands, Mount Rushmore and Wind Cave NP then home.  About three weeks prior to the trip Nicida asked me if we could visit WI by way of Houston to visit her family and her 102 year old relative leaving for CA in the near future.  I could not say no.

This trip will be split into three postings.
