 This will be the 23rd day on the road.  We spent the night in Waco TX.  Enjoyed dinner with Terry's son Brian and his friend.  Will  have lunch with him today, dinner with them tonight, will watch the debate and then hit the road tomorrow for GA.  We will take 3 days and arrive there Friday but the days will not be long as it is about 850 miles from here.
We will stay in the same campsite tonight, the first time we have stayed 2 nights in the same site.  When we got in yesterday afternoon the lady who runs it was gone so we just set up.  Will have to see if we can find her today to pay.
We are still carrying an entire box of tomatoes from our garden but they are getting ripe so will have to eat fast or find someone to give them to.  No tomatoes when we arrive in Naples. 
We continue to get such fun comments on the camper.  Comments like "does it pop up?", "no way!" "it's so cute" "that is the neatest camper ever" and maybe the best yesterday when as we put gas in (sorry dad it goes in not ON) a lady was so taken up with it but she said, "we couldn't even get all our kids in it!!"  I did not ask how many kids she had but I saw their boat and our camper would have fit IN their boat.
So we march on towards the east.  Some of the fun things to remember are the 9 states we have seen, the 6 family/friends stops we have enjoyed, the ten National Parks we have visited and the 4500+ miles we have driven.  We could perhaps be content all winter long just sitting for a time each day recalling the trip.  We are finished with NP but will drive through at least 6 more states and of course see more family and friends.
Today in Waco we will take in the "Dr. Pepper" museum, I know everyone has wanted to see that!  We will also take in the Texas Ranger hall of fame which I am looking forward to.  I am reading a very good book about a Texas Ranger and I want to see if he is in it. 
No more FP, no more ideas, more time but for what!!!!
