This winter we traveled to Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. We were
gone for about 6 weeks. We visited the Texas Hill Country for the
first time and enjoyed the western scenery. We ate a lot of seafood,
particularly crawfish and Dungeness Crab and had a good relaxing time.
Also stopped at Foretravel for some service. We left home in February
with snow on the ground and arrived back home in March with snow on the
ground.
