Summer 2009 Road Trip Day 4

On Day 3 of our road trip, we left Carlsbad, New Mexico and drove to Texas. We spent the night in Ozona, Texas and on day 4 we drove thru Texas and into Louisiana. Our first stop in Texas was in Pecos. We found a little historical spot with some old buildings.

Here we are standing in front of the courthouse.

The small building with the bars is the jailhouse.

A pretty view along the way in Texas.

There weren't many pretty views in Texas. It was pretty boring, really.

Houston, Texas. We didn't have time to stop.

After a long day of driving thru Texas, we finally arrived in Louisiana and found our first view of the ocean. We made our mark on the beach there.

I found the houses really cool. They were all built up for hurricane season.

These were all new houses. There wasn't any hurricane damage to these. We did see a lot of traces of damage here and there, but I didn't take pictures of everything.

LOVE the bright pink house. It matches my shirt. :o)

Sarabeth and Jessica finding shells on the beach. This was a nice break from sitting in the car all day driving thru Texas.

It was nice to walk thru the sand, but the water was really dirty and it was really windy. It wasn't a "pretty beach" by any means.

After we left the beach, we came upon this park with this amazing playground. Check out this playhouse. It was called Treasure Island. We decided we needed one in Idaho. It was huge and really neat.
