Road Trip - Dallas ... Good Morning

It's 5:30 and the coffee is is perking. Neal and I are both stirring and have less than 30 minutes before departure. While we haven't hit the road, the Dallas adventure has begun.

This is our fifth road trip. For those who don't know us ... we're SHSU grads, college roommates, Eagle Scouts, O/A, Alpha Phi Omega brothers, Mac users, Canon camera users (first with the Ftb and A-1, now each on our second digital Rebel). We were also in each other's wedding and share a bazillion secrets ... none of which have a national security clearance. We each visited the other's children the day they were born and we remind them of that as well.

Road trip one occurred in college - February 1978. That was a week from Huntsville to Kansas City. In the snow!!! It never got over 30 degrees in KC.

Details to come.

Road trip two was eerie. It began the Friday after 9/11. It was also to Dallas. We went to the very first Apple store in Texas (in Plano), toured Dallas and Ft Worth.  And on the day Alan Jackson sang of, when a record number of American's were in church, the two of us were driving around the Metroplex amazed at the quiet that had befallen. The auto race had been cancelled. No planes were landing at DFW. Just ... very ... quiet.

More details later.

Road three two was November 2007 when we went to Baltimore and Washington for the Dynamo Championship game ... also know as Mike and Neal eat their way through our nation's capitol.

Add some details here.

Last Summer's trip was a full day from here to San Antonio, up to Austin and back. We did so much we should have stayed the night. The rational for the trip was the Grand Opening of the Apple Store in the North Park Mall in San Antonio. You know, the one with the HUGE cowboy boots.

Which brings us to this trip. Two guys, two cameras, two MacBook Pros, two soccer games, one Miata.
