Day 3: Wichita Falls

Today we drove to Wichita Falls. We originally were driving to Decatur, but we felt good and decided to go another hour. Regardless of how many times I do it, I’m always amazed how big Texas is when we travel West. Yesterday, I saw an infographic that showed San Diego is closer to El Paso than Houston. The kids keep asking, “Are we still in Texas?!”

The highlight of today was the swimming pool at the RV Park in Wichita Falls. It got up to 108 here! The kids and Jordan swam while I did some laundry. It felt like I was in college again, but I can’t remember if we had to use quarters for the washers and dryers in my dorm. Should I be worried about a coin shortage and doing laundry on the road in laundromats?

The kids are playing well together. For the most part. They are siblings, of course. One silver lining I hope that comes out of 2020 is that my kids forge a stronger bond. They have spent so much time with each other over the past few months since their social lives have been limited. They are very different kids, but I hope they are learning they can count on one another during challenging times.

Tomorrow we drive again. And we will still be in Texas at the end of the day. I think Jordan and the kids will he happy once we are past Amarillo so I will stop singing “Amarillo by morning…”

Side note: There are going to be more pics of Lucy because she is a more willing participant. I’m trying to grab photos of Hudson when I can!

Until next time…
