As we were getting really sick of I10, when we went west this time we aimed a little bit higher, passing through Albany and Montgomery, finally hitting I20 at Meridian MS (6th largest city in MS at 40k). The finest restaurant in Meridian is Weidman's (open since 1870!), where the custom is to serve cute little crocks of peanut butter as a kind of appetizer. Good food with a nice atmosphere, in a downtown that was trying really hard, but with a clearly abandoned high rise reminiscent of Disney's Tower of Terror ride.
The next night we were in the DFW area. Had dinner at one of those Brazilian steakhouse places. We are too old to really get our money's worth at one of these places, although the food was really good. We had a nephin (Heather's term for extended family) that lived with us for a while when he was in school. We took him to the one that our oldest used to work at. They lost money on that boy. I don't think he's allowed back.
After a very long day, the next night we made it to Las Cruces. After a couple more nights at Heather's Mom's place we headed over to the valley.
I had physical therapy appointments for my hand at Mayo starting on the 14th, at first several a week, then at least weekly for rest of August and September. In between we visited with Chelsea and Travis in Gilbert, and scooted back to Las Cruces for a few days at a time.
