We flew from Augusta to Houston on December 10th which would be the first leg of our trip to Belize with Adam, Ashley & the kids! I found the Chick-fil-a restaurant in the Atlanta airport for one last chicken biscuit. Then by noon we would be in  Houston where we were reunited with our Land Rover & headed South.

Once we arrived in Houston T.J. picked us up at the airport and drove us to Laura’s brothers house where we were reunited with our Land Rover they stored for us.  I think Scott truly missed his rig!

Then on to the house to see Laura when she got home from work! That evening they treated us to there favorite local restaurant and then drove thru the well-to-do area’s of town to look at Christmas lights! They had to be the BEST light displays I have ever seen! You could even hire a horse & carriage complete with a coachman with a top hat to drive you from house to house!

After a terrific evening with Laura & T.J. we took off the next morning on our way to meet Adam, Ashley & Kids in Brownsville to begin our trek thru Mexico! Along the way we happened upon a great little BBQ place. We decided we had to have some good BBQ before we left the States! It was delicious & the owner was one of a kind!

We finally reached Brownsville & reunited with the Swierczek’s. Ashley had found a mobile home park that also allowed campers to stay. Surprisingly it was very hard to find someplace to camp unless you had a large RV, most wouldn’t allow us. They allowed us for one night, but it was not the normal for their park! Once we arrived there was lots of talking & excitement from everyone. I think the kids were most excited to get to Mexico & the beaches! Ashley just wanted warm weather! It was amazing how much the kids have grown in the 7 months since we seen them last. A good nights sleep & we were ready to GO!
