Along our scenic drive from Dallas to Alpine, we saw:
- a dust devil,
- the former worlds largest spur,
- and countless historical markers.
Here’s our hooch*
* hooch is our word for accommodation
We drove to and through Sul Ross University. We went to see Zuzu’s memorial. #thezuzueffect
We saw the historic Holland Hotel:
Our first fully home cooked meal in a month was outstanding!!!! My HH made cheeseburgers and I made roasted potatoes with oregano and basil and a salad. Please note, my SHH ( smart handsome husband), fashioned a broiling pan/grill out of aluminum foil! Yes, of course, he’s an Eagle Scout; and he’s better and cuter than McGuyver.
After dinner, we sat in the perfect-posture rocking chairs. Please note: I do not like rocking/moving chairs. I’m sitting still. The view of the mountains is unbelievable, considering we’re only eight hours from our Downtown Dallas home. We’re loving the view and very quiet time. There are literally NO sounds. This just may be another level of FUN! We played horseshoes in our backyard. There are also flat peach trees!!! Flat peaches, a.k.a. donut peaches, are delicious and oblate. We played pool, combined with 70s trivia. When the sky was dark, we went outside to see the stars….and oh boy, we saw stars, the bright moon, the Milky Way, and one shooting star.
More exploring forthcoming…
