The Ride Home

A few snap shots from the ride home.
Jelly Bean is under that blanket from Nana somewhere.

We stoped at Bucees...... had to after seeing all the bilboards about it.
The billboards are cute and that beaver is just too adorable. We saw lots of Billboards in the 3 hour drive from Houston to San Antonio. It kept us entertained. I found these pictures online of some of the billboards.
I have been in one before but, the guys have not.
Here are some words from reviews online that I looked up, wish I could write like this. It sounds like me though, LOL! I cut and pasted some words and added some of my own.
I'm a little shocked at how amazing a gas station can be.
The parking wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Sure, it was crowded, but not overly so and it was definitely possible to find a spot anywhere. And considering how many cars were in the parking lot, the store itself was pleasantly uncrowded. That is mostly due to the fact that it is ENORMOUS!
The best part is they got everything from Dippin' Dots, candy, a deli case full of every kind of jerky you can think of, fresh deli, higher end sou verniers, and of course gas - 20+ aisles of pumps.
The left side is a bunch of touristy junk and by junk I mean I wanted it all, but was able to walk away without any of it.
The right side was the obligatory snacks and other devilish temptations.
In front of the deli is a computerized sandwich-ordering system, where you can order a sandwich custom built to your specifications, from the bread to the spread to the meat. You can also select wraps, hot dogs, chicken fingers, tacos and burritos. Here’s also where you can order a brown paper bag filled with freshly fried chips.
The photo below I found online.
The women's room is enough to make a girl swoon. There are rows and rows of stalls. When the stall door is locked, the outside says occupied, much like an airplane. Best of all, nearly everything is automatic, from the flushers to the soap and paper towels.
The picture above is of the baby Changing station and waiting area in the ladies room at Buc-ee's. That poster, the throw and the bench it's on are all for sale. The ladies room is also an arts and crafts gallery!
A photo of all the stalls in the ladies room. Those white dispensers are hand sanitizers!

We even ran into one of Papa Bexars co-workers from the Sheriff's Department too. It was nice to meet you Goodwin and your partner after talking to you on the phone so many times.
We had a goo trip back home from Houston.

Stopping at Bucees is a requirement whenever we make the trip to Houston. It is such a cool place to stop at.
