Our day started out in Cuero at the Ezzell’s (Laura’s parents) home for brunch at 9:30, and to pick up Matthew for the trip. The brunch was very good, and filling. We left there at about 11:00am, and headed toward Red Bay.
After stopping for fuel at the Wharton Wal-Mart, It was non-stop driving until we got to the Denham Springs, LA Wal-Mart at 7:00pm, where we shutdown and I found the Texas and Texas A&M game on satellite.
Patsy heated up the turkey and dressing that we had picked up at our local Furr’s Cafeteria for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Here are some pictures for the day. The first set is Matthew and his sister, Aubrey horsing around before brunch:

As we were leaving, Matthew thought his driving lessons were going to start today!!! Later, boy, later……….
For his first day, Matthew was an excellent traveler. For a while, he played with a game box…….
Other times, he rode shotgun and helped me drive and we played a game, trying to see who could be the first to spot on-coming 18-wheelers:
At about 4:00pm, he decided look at some library books and let Patsy move back up front. However, within 10 minutes, he was out for a 1 1/2 hour nap:
I’ve been building this post during the football game……. and it’s a good one!! We will spend the night here, and drive hard to get to Red Bay on Friday night.
