It’s been a long caffeine-fueled trip home, but we made it!

It’s actually not that far from Austin to Houston. It’s about 3 hours plus stops, in a perfect world at least. We stopped at a gas station to get coffee as we were leaving Austin… Then we stopped again at a Kroger to get gas and switch drivers… Then again at Buc-ee’s in Giddings to get more coffee … Then again at a Starbuck’s in Brenham to get coffee and switch again.

The worst part was that once we got into Houston, we found out that both Beltway 8 East and I-610 East were closed!!!! After a very long detour through the city and a failed bathroom break, which added an extra 35 minutes to our trip, we finally got home just past midnight.

It’s nice to be home, to be married, and to sleep in our bed again. And after our long day, we are definitely ready for bed. Good night!
