On the road to San Antonio

So, how cool is this... Mark and I both got new laptops for school, and they have a little place in front for my SD card from my camera. So I can blog from our trip. I brought the laptop to do some "school work" while we were in the hotel room and such, but don't hold your breath on that one!

Anyway, we drove to Houston today, and everything was great. I know, most people would go ahead and drive all the way to San Antonio, but the Carrolls arent big drivers. We got to Houston before 4 o'clock, so we made pretty decent time. Here are some pics from the drive:

The happy driver:



Self portrait of Mama from the back seat. Mark and I have discovered that Emma and I sitting in the back is more peaceful than Katie and Emma in the back.



Stopping at the Texas welcome center to take a few pics:

The well planned trip hits a snag in Houston with traffic (around 3 o'clock), but it didn't last very long:

Downtown Houston:

Dad and Emma having some drinks and hor d'oeurves in the hotel bar (well.... Mama and Daddy had the drinks and the kids had some snacks!)

Katie and Emma at the hotel. We stayed at an Embassy suites right outside Houston and it was super nice. Very modern and new looking. Here are the girls playing after we ate some dinner.

We are heading out for San Antonio tomorrow morning so check back for some info then. I may not do this every night, but I'll try! Later!
