After a mostly uneventful stay (except for trying to enter someone else's hotel room-- oops) we headed back to the Brooks County Rest Stop. After a cool start the sun came out and was much nicer than predicted. Since we knew this was our last chance for sun for awhile, we ended up staying until 3. The Painted Redstart was cooperative, as were the bluebirds and golden rumps.
I know I go on and on about these rest stops, but I am fascinated by how much they have beautified them. Here's a small section of the wall in one of the bathrooms.
We then decided to road trip up to our friends' place in Nederland, TX, arriving about 9 pm. Nothing notable about that drive beyond how glad I am we got the TxTag before we went. We were able to skirt Houston traffic by taking the Sam Houston Tollway, and not having to stop to pay tolls.
