Journal Entry...Roadtrip Day 6, March 25

We left Texas for Missouri on Wednesday and my poor Mabs started complaining of her butt hurting immediately. But not before we were pulled over for going 74 in a 70...30mnts from my mom's house! The sheriff deputy was super nice (even asked for Jason's business card!! LOL), and only gave us a warning after he realized we were NOT crazy tattooed criminals (hard to tell sometimes :)). But he did say in Texas, a ticket for 1 mph over is the same as 10 mph over...I guess the limit means limit. Warning for all you Texans. We also heard our very first...'are we there yet??' Mabelle was not ready to be in the car again. And she didn't shed a tear when we told Nana goodbye, but got very upset when we called during the car ride. She calmed down when we explained to her all the next stops we had on our roadtrip. Leaving is so hard. So just a few pics of our drive from TX to MO...

Entering Missouri!
Drawing to pass the time.

Showing us how strong he is..silly!

Hollaring at me.

That smell and eat your feet game sure is popular in our family! LOL!
And we arrived in 7.5hrs....even with a cop stop, walmart stop and pee stop!!! And that's going THE limit :) whoa!
