American Road Trip ~ Day 1

We arrived yesterday afternoon in Houston a little late due to a storm system in northern Texas.  My cousin picked us up from the airport then took us on a quick tour around Houston before we headed out for supper with her and her hubby!

Once back at their place we visited till we were nearly dozing off.  After a good night's sleep, coffe and a visit with my cousin we were off to pick up the rental vehicle and ready to start the road trip part of our holiday! 

Leaving Houston it seemed to take forever to get out of the city!  As it turns out Houston and about 5 other cities all run into each other!   It rained like crazy on our way out.  The interchanges and overpasses are unbelievable for this prairie girl.   We started out on a six lane freeway and ended up on single lanes at times. 

A few pictures from our day!!  

Praying Mantis on the window of my cousun's place!  First time I have ever seen one of these.
