We woke up early and hit the road, happy to beat the morning traffic caused by construction at the stack, even though we weren’t actually going through it, just by it.

I’m working from the rig this week, Wednesday through Friday. The computer and phone worked fine in the car using the hotspot. The biggest issue was that I’m not used to working on a laptop, so I kept trying to touch the screen like an iPad.

Jack helped me set up a mouse, keyboard, and extra monitor when we arrived at Tropic Hideaway.

The dogs traveled well, and we made good time.

Buc-ee’s wasn’t as crazy as it has been in previous years during spring break. So we stopped for lunch and picked up a few extra desserts.

The weather turned out cool and windy, but it was beautiful from inside the rig. Wind gust into the 30’s.

I had to work, so Jack kept busy cleaning windows and other things.

We had lunch at Wolf Bay, which is our only planned meal out. We also brought plenty of other food items to eat and cook.

We woke up to frost, but it was a beautiful day. The temperature is warming up to the high 60s. I’m working, and it’s been relatively quiet so far. Jack and I have been busy preparing Maria for the trade-in on the new 25′ Classic coming in May. 

I took my lunch break at the end of the day and left at 3 o’clock. We went to Target and bought bedding for the new rig, of course, and we couldn’t resist getting a daiquiri. We finished cooking the gumbo and red beans and rice for supper.
