texas time.

direction: south...deep south. texas south. visted family in texas, very fun but a very long drive. we left south dakota on the 15th and after 20+ hours of driving we made it to killeen tx. on the drive down the boys and i visited buffalo bills cabin as well as monument rocks in kansas. stopped at least 4 public parks in the various towns we drove through. i decided not to take major highways so we could view the flora and fauna of the different states as we traveled. i must say, despite the long distance, this was the most beautiful and pleasant roadtrip i have ever undertaken. no traffic or busy highways, just parks, animals, and amazing landmarks, both man made and natural.

once we reached killeen we hiked, walked, swam, and camped all over the place. the heat certainly put a cramp on our style but we didnt let it hold us back from having fun. checked out cameron park zoo in waco and visited both the aquarium and jfk musuem in dallas. my dad flew into town on the 27th and the remainder of the trip was spent sightseeing with him. despite the heat, humidity, and cat sized cockroaches the texas trip was bananas!
