This is the last photo that we took on our summer vacation this year. It is the same rest stop that we took a picture at 2.5 years ago on our way from Mesa to Houston. I am so glad that we found it again and that I now know which mile it is at along the route east on I-10, it is a lovely little rest area that is extremely well kept. The people that take care of it were even mopping the tile outside of the bathrooms, I know because I saw them do it! I even thanked them for keeping it so clean. I get a little emotional when I think about this rest stop, I don't know for sure why but I have latched onto it. Maybe it is because the shelters look like giant hand cart beds and I felt a little bit like the pioneers starting over in a new place when I first stopped there. Maybe it is because it represents that there is a long journey between me and my loved ones. I haven't found the reason for sure, that may take some time for sure, but for now I know that I love the wagon wheels and that we now have 2 pictures here and a new tradition to follow when driving along this stretch of Interstate.
Tomorrow is the start of a new school year. I promise to post some highlight pics from the summer and to start again regularly here.
