Starting the final push

 Today is Monday, and we will be home on Wednesday!  It’s hard to believe that after almost three months on the road, we will be sleeping in our own bed!  Our RV is dirty, we are tired, and Maggie is ready for a yard without a constant leash. YAY! 

Yesterday was a relaxation day.  I did laundry early in the morning while Steve went back to the German bakery for pastries.  We ate them in the RV and almost immediately fell into a sugar coma!  Wow, were they good!  After a brief late morning nap - haha - we went into town for a while.  We originally thought we’d do some local wine tasting today, but after a little research decided to pass.  Tastings are now in excess of $35 and in some places you need reservations! Boy have things changed from the days when you could just drop by and taste a few wines for free. So, we wandered Fredericksburg a little bit, visited the Luckenbach store, and then found a shaded courtyard and had a margarita. There was live music playing, and they were fun to listen to.

The rest of the day we just relaxed in the RV, took Maggie for a couple of walks, and started researching our stops for the last two nights on the road. There isn’t too much between here and Tucson. We’ll be on I-10 the whole way. It looks like our first stop will be Fort Stockton, Texas, and then we will move on to Las Cruces, New Mexico. From there, it’s just a 4 hour drive home!
