Thanksgiving Trip - Day 6
Sad day - we had to go home... Breakfast with Shannon, Sean, Mary and Leo and then went over to Bonnie's one last time. Hoping to see everyone again soon - but may have to wait until next year's Thanksgiving at National Harbor (MD). Left her house around 1000L and made some good time back to Snyder (saw coyote along the road) - not windy. Things going great until we tried to stop for lunch at (2 different) Skeeter's (reputedly have good fish tacos) and found out they aren't open on Sunday. Tried a few other places for food but eventually had to settle for Wendy's (near Abilene). Everyone got full and then back on the Interstate. Great time until we got to the major construction zone (east of Ranger) - used the frontage road for almost 20 miles (HUGE backup). Just missed a big speed trap. As we drove through Weatherford, the back-up going west looked horrible. Made it into Fort Worth by 1800L - just as the sun finally went down (Mollie said "look at the sky!"). I'm going to miss those long, pretty sun-sets... Unpacked and got everyone ready for bed (it may take a few days to get back to normal time-zones). Great trip!
