Thanksgiving Trip - Day 1

Bonnie called a few weeks ago and told us that she would love to have us join her and her family for Thanksgiving in San Antonio. We realized this was probably only a day's drive, so Nicky and I decided to take her up on the offer. I got together with everyone back in 1993 (New Orleans), so I know nearly all of the cousins. This will be Nicky's first visit with them, though - and the none of them know the kids. Our drive down I-59 to I-10 was uneventful. Whenever I drive along the raised highway in the bayous of southern Louisiana, I am always intrigued by what lies past the swampy land along the highway - do people live out this way? We made it to Houston in the evening and checked into our hotel (Townplace Suites) - [Swimming ?].
