Day 1 - Road Trip 2014

WOW!!  What an awesome first day of our 14 day road trip!!!  

It was a stroll down memory lane for me...Franklin, Texas brought back memories of me flying thru town on my way home from TAMU only to see the blue lights in my rear view mirror!  I got a ticket in Franklin almost every time!! This time however I slammed on the brakes the moment I saw the city limits sign!!!  We made it all the way thru town free and clear.  My Mom & Dad would be so proud!  Ha!!!  Crossing over into Louisiana brought back many fond memories of trips with Mom & Dad & April to see family.  We made this trip a lot. The tremendous dose of Nugent hospitality we received today makes my cup runneth over.  I have missed the Nugent Clan terribly. And dare I not forget to mention all of the trees...this East Texas Girl with Louisiana roots misses TREES!!! The kids have soaked up all of the memories I have shared about grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins, places and experiences from my childhood.   Lots of smiles & laughs!  They loved making their own Nugent family memories today!  We plan to be back very soon!  Sterling is chomping at the bit to coon hunt with Jeff and one of his world renowned coon dogs. 

Not only do you have to drive at a snails pace in Franklin, Texas, but the universal speed limit for the entire State of Louisiana is you guessed it 55mph!!!  OMG...right before we rolled into Georgetown, LA (yes you read it right...all of the Nugent's live in Georgetown, LA) I got to drive 65!
