Texas Trip Update #5: 45 miles to Beaumont, Texas

Defuniak Springs, Florida

We have made really good time and progress today, and we just drove past a sign that said we are forty five miles away from Beaumont, Texas. So that means we should be in Galveston in about 2.5 hours, maybe a little less or maybe a little more depending on what traffic is like. We will be getting a hotel tonight, and showering before going to get dinner. Although I may just have dinner delivered. I'm kind of exhausted, and honestly don't think I am going to geel like going back out after we get a hotel room. There hasn't been anything else that exciting, except the Tiger truck stop/gas station that had two stuffed tigers inside the store. I didn't realize how "southern" this picture was until I noticed that behind the tiger there was beer and Zippo lighters. Ahhh, classy.

You've made really good time. I like how the stuffed tiger adds an element of class to the joint.

I was wondering why there was a tiger there, but I see it is the Tiger Truck Stop

Truck stops and rest areas are really important parts of any road trip.

Nice image of the stuffed tiger inside of the truck stop/gasoline station.
