An observation on car travel.
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Especially at the holidays, it can be far more pleasant to take a little extra time and go a few extra miles on state roads and U.S. Highways rather than battle the traffic and press of the Interstate Highways.
That’s what we did today as we traveled 260 miles from the outskirts of Dallas home to Austin. The worst stretch was the 30 miles we spent on I-45. The best thing about the whole trip was all but avoiding I-35.
Beneficial side effect: more and better places to stop between large cities, which is important when you’re traveling with young children.
