On the Road Again
(Or is that Woad to Ruin?)
Justin just escaped from his cellblock (read: cubicle), so we’re minutes away from loading up the F-150 and heading to pick up Justin’s parents. Sounds easy, but the roadway right outside our subdivision is already backed up for miles.
Driving Details for Travel from San Antonio, TX to Coppell, TX:
Total Driving Distance: 294.25 miles
Total Driving Time: 4 hours, 41 minutes*
* That doesnt’ factor in the AAA’s estimate that 83% of all people travelling in the USA for Thanksgiving are doing so by driving. Wheeee!
I predict about eight stops so I can hop out of the truck and use some filthy restroom/rest stop.
Mom, Dad & Thomas — have an awesome Thanksgiving! Save some turkey for us!

DRUM ROLL …
It took us a total of 7.5 HOURS to travel those 294.25 miles from San Antonio to Coppell, Texas. Traffic was an absolute nightmare! We computed our average moving speed at just over 40mph for the drive. Ugh… It’s shy of 9:30 PM and we’ve only been in our hotel room for about 25 minutes.
Looking forward to a day NOT spent on the road tomorrow… and then we get to repeat this in reverse on Friday. Let’s hope only 1/4 of the people we followed to Dallas today are planning on returning home Friday, shall we?

OMG, Shan!!! I knew (from our text message exchange) that it had been a very long, slow drive - - - - but I didn’t know what time you had hit the road! (Or should that be “what time the road started hitting you”?)
