Texas Here We come

After a dentist appointment in the morning, breakfast and stopping for gas, we were on the road to our winter home in Texas.  We decided to go down US 71 which will be the new I45 from Kansas City to New Orleans.  Some of the road is finished but there is much to be done before it will be a full blown interstate.  Arkansas was beautiful at this time of year with the trees starting to turn their beautiful colors.  We stayed in Arkansas the first night at a little motel that used to be a Super 8.  Unfortunately they did not serve breakfast but we certainly had a good dinner at the Mexican joint right next door.
