Travels to Texas Nation

You know your life is awesome when you're living out the lyrics to a Pat Green song:
"Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
Hit the border by the morning
To let Texas fill my soul
To let Texas fill my soul"

For four whole days Texas took over our souls. After the 14-hour drive, we spent our first couple days living the Temple life...checking out the Temple Mall, hanging out with the wonderful people we met at the VA hospital, and eating lots of greasy food.


Peter (from the VA), his wife, and his adorable 2-year-old son, invited us to dinner at Little Mexico. No doubt the best grilled tacos these taste buds have ever experienced. (Not that I've ever had grilled tacos before.)


We also experienced Whataburger for the first time. Not exactly In-N-Out, but it was still pretty decent. Instead of getting your own condiments, a lovely lady brought us a tray of napkins, condiments, and mints. And she liked us so much that we got a free order of fries. Quite a nice gig.


We also did some apartment hunting, in case Jordan ends up spending the next year in town. He decided on these swanky dwellings below. It's called Pecan Point. The place is really nice for the money, and it's about a 10 minute drive from the VA Hospital.
